Welcome to the Backup and Recovery Best Practices Website...

The goal of BackupBestPractices.ORG is to help educate the IT community about industry best practices and emerging perspectives in the backup and recovery / data protection space. While there are many conferences that claim to have a "backup and recovery track", their content is typically aimed at selling you a particular technology rather than having a focus on industry best practices and how to structure the Data Protection Service for your particular organization.

For example, some folks argue that tape is more reliable than disk, while others claim that disk is more reliable and that tape is dead.  What is the truth, and does it really matter?  How do you create a backup and recovery cost model for your organization?  Do you still backup every server every day and forget that it is the critical, unique business data that really matters for your organization's sustainability and compliance?  What are deduplication appliances and how do they work?  What is the best way to report on the success and failures in your data protection environment?  This content and much more is available on the site.

The idea behind our consortium is to provide you with the information you need as a backup and recovery IT professional or as the data protection service manager / owner to help you properly manage your day-to-day operations, as well as understand how to manage and report on your operational effectiveness, growth and capacity without having to purchase expensive tools or software packages. 

Remember - "It's not how fast you back up that counts, It's how fast your business is back up and running that matters most" ...  The focus of your service should be on recovery and how you design an environment that adequately manages risk, as well as being innovative and cost-effective.
