ABSTRACT:
There are more and better tools to protect data than ever before, but how they're implemented and used in a storage environment can determine how effective they'll be. With ever growing data capacities, it's critical to plan appropriately, develop efficient procedures and use these new tools to contend with the rising tide of data.
In this videocast, W. Curtis Preston, one of the leading backup experts in the country, describes some key best practices that will help build a better backup system.
Some of the topics included in this videocast include:
- How to determine reasonable, achievable RTOs and RPOs
- Eliminating the "junk" that shouldn't be backed up
- Verifying that a backup ran successfully
- Safeguarding laptop and desktop PC data

Mr. Preston has been designing storage systems for more than a decade and has designed systems for environments ranging from backup systems for small businesses to enterprise storage systems for Fortune 100 companies. His passion for backup and recovery began with managing the data growth of a 24x7, mission-critical environment, running nine versions of UNIX, three databases and 250 servers. Since that time, Mr. Preston has helped dozens of companies design resilient storage systems, and his client list includes many Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies.
