Backup & Recovery

Backup & Recovery

Recovery time objective (RTO) is defined as the maximum amount of time an organization has to recover from a disaster event or downtime before it causes a break in business continuity that has significant repercussions for the organization and its end users. Put simply, this is the allotted time frame that the organization has to recover from the event before things get noticeably bad for end users.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, IT teams are constantly under pressure to lower their RTO to protect the organization and its users in the event of a disruption.

A good backup practice ensures instant recovery from data loss due to software bugs, accidental deletions, ransomware attacks, insider threats and other failure scenarios. AWS provides its own backup service called AWS Backup, but there are many software companies that specialize in backing up AWS that provide higher efficiency, faster recovery, and lower costs.

Don’t you love the beginning of the year when you come up with a resolution that gives a surge of motivation to achieve? But as new priorities emerge, your determined sprint inevitably becomes a leisurely walk. So long as you periodically remind yourself why you made the resolution in the first place, even slow progress will eventually get you to your goal.
