About this course

Restoration and recovery is a vital part of a comprehensive backup plan. As a well-known axiom regarding backup strategy states, "a backup policy without tested restoration and recovery is no backup at all." In this course, we will examine restoration and recovery concepts, beginning with load balancing, clustering, and backup strategies. Next, we will explore continuity of operations, multicloud, and disaster recovery sites. We will then focus on capacity planning and testing techniques. Finally, we will look at power considerations. This course is part of a series that prepares you for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam.
