Did you hear about the blog site that disappeared when their system failed and they didn't have a backup to restore from? Or how about the pet supplier that went out of business after a DELETE statement removed everything from their database and there wasn't a backup on hand. These aren't urban myths but rather typical stories that make the news every couple months. Is your company one database failure from collapse? In this session, we'll go over the basis of backups. And also go over the basics and best practices in creating a backup and recovery strategy.
