Your data backups are supposed to provide reassurance against interruptions caused by cyber attacks. But what if their next target is…your backups?

Join us this week to move beyond basic backup schedules and toward a resilient “3-2-1” strategy that protects against both hardware failure and ransomware. We’ll also dive into the specifics of backup frequency based on your RPO, the move toward immutable cloud storage, and the critical importance of a Restoration Calendar for regular testing.

Tune in to share your experiences with disaster recovery drills and how you’ve optimized your backup pipeline to ensure that recovering the district is a practiced routine, rather than a frantic first attempt.
