What is disaster recovery? Are disaster recovery and backup the same thing, and do they protect you in the event of some sort of system failure?
In this lightboard video, Bradley Knapp with IBM Cloud, answers these questions and many more as he breaks down the differences and similarities between disaster recovery and backup, as well as explains how both of these solutions can help you solve the needs for you and your business.

If my school teacher explained so patiently and politely, i would have never taken a leave. So lucid explanation.. His voice is euphonic too.

[@zubabar224]

This channel is fantastic, with short clips but loaded with complete information. Great work

[@ErvigHenry]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you find this channel fantastic. By the way, speaking of power backup, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse that can provide ample power for a wide range of devices. Check it out if you're interested in high-quality backup power products for your outdoor adventures!

[@aryehbarron4067]

I work for IBM’s competition but these videos are great!

[@lennybur]

Great video! thanks so much for the explanation, breakdown, and comparison.

After the most important question (downtime), you have to ask yourself "Am I willing to put up with the security hasle of properly securing your DR site so that ransomware software can't jump environments. I work in hosting, and I can't count how many times I've seen DR sites get ransomed because they wanted full interconnects between the environments.

[@christostsangaris4785]

Even backups are affected by a ransomware. In fact, ransomware are clever, and target backups as well, so you are left with nothing to restore, and give them your money. To be effective against ransomwares you need to take offline backups, or use a technology that protects against ransomwares (like Veeam). In any case, you need to make sure that ransomwares do not enter your network, so you need to protect against that. Primary entry point: Emails. You need to secure your emails with solutions like FortiMail, Proofpoint, etc. and also train your users.

[@pawansaarang]

Simple and quality explanation

[@VW_Fan]

The number of people I interview and don't know the difference is astonishing.

[@jackieo7113]

Very helpful - thanks for the post!

[@TakNakamura-mc6tb]

Wow! Mirror writing! Awesome!!!

[@Lightbeerer]

These IBM videos are so well made that I want to do one of their certificates or apply for a job there!

[@handsomearun955]

Really useful information for me

[@peacepath4350]

very well explained

[@ahmadmert5454]

Amazon is putting 4 different DR strategy based on the cost and SLA, last one and most cost-effective DR solution is backup. you can recover your primary site failure using backup solution as well, however it will increase RTO. I have been 13 years of experience on the backup field, i would like to highlight main purpose of having backup is data protection, but also you can make data migration, data protection, ransomware protection, data protection, data analytic, DR Solution, etc.

[@7186amitpamnani]

For Interview Enthusiasts : Recovery point objective (RPO) is defined as the maximum amount of data - as measured by time - that can be lost after a recovery from a disaster, failure, or comparable event before data loss will exceed what is acceptable to an organization.

[@ErvigHenry]

Thank you for sharing the information about recovery point objective (RPO). It's important to understand the difference between disaster recovery and backup. By the way, if you're into outdoor activities like camping, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile powerhouse with a massive capacity, fast recharging, and comprehensive protections. Check it out if you're looking for reliable backup power for your outdoor adventures!

[@7186amitpamnani]

For Interview Enthusiasts: Determining an RTO Recovery Time Objective RTOs are used to measure how much time it takes after the disaster for the IT department to recover the data. For their assessment basis, RTOs represent the overall needs of your business and determine how long your business can survive without IT infrastructure and services.

[@ErvigHenry]

Thank you for sharing the information about RTOs and the importance of disaster recovery. It's crucial for businesses to have a plan in place. On a different note, for outdoor enthusiasts and RV lovers looking for reliable power backup options, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it's perfect for camping trips or ensuring uninterrupted family time. Check it out!

[@lucasgomide3580]

Great video, thanks for the content.

[@IBMTechnology]

You're welcome, glad you liked it!

[@ffhhffh]

Please hire me already, I've been trying to find a remote B2B with you guys for half a year now.🥺

[@Helen-tz6lu]

Just one opinion, this seems more fit the title "Disaster Recovery vs. Backup Restore "

[@kristopherleslie8343]

Right but no one says back up restore though. It’s a marketing drama kinda

[@rajastylez]

How does Disaster Recovery relate to *replication* then?

[@jongross3329]

Bradleyyyy whats up!

[@alexandersmirnov4274]

what diff btw backup vs snapshots?

[@thehappygravedigger]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ... Awesome !!!

[@DavidJJJ]

Rather than DR vs Backup, I think the better one is DR vs HA, I think they most often get confused with eachother.

[@marcina3546]

Bulls eye, ie. cluster is a HA solution and could be a DR but in DR you could also restore from backup. MTO is a main driver here.

[@richenroth2699]

Are you writing backwards ? Amazing

[@IBMTechnology]

Actually it's a lightboard video and we flip the image in post-production.

[@MohamedABahloul]

now tell me what is is the different between D.R and business continuity

[@thefunguess]

Gr3at

[@tammywhite3357]

Memerlukan lebih ramai orang jadi sebarkan video ini lebih banyak

[@bigpan1360]

if you talk about DR, you should say something about RTO RPO at least

[@tagelayalew6753]

He already said it in a different way; We are just addicted to jargons

[@jonathanperez5513]

Misleading approach, some clients cannot afford a "streaming" DR strategy, leaving them with back up as strategy, yes, back up is a DR approach

[@urmur]

How is the streaming done?

[@TheRVSN]

I assume data replication on mass storage level. But I had experience with metropolitan clusters only, when data centers were interconnected with fiber optics. He was talking about hurricanes and floods so one would stream at least over 1000 km. I guess only transnational corporation can afford that. But I may be wrong - depends on real data flow size.

[@wake.up.and.be.awesome]

Why does DR Require you to have a human say start? Why not automatically?

[@engchoontan8483]

Using the terminologies from this video, for lesser purpose of non-mission-critical and lower-redundancy and medium-availability and low support costs for small businesses Snapshot Standby Backup Disaster Recovery Streaming - hot-standby, versioning, database-replication, real-time, write-policies, delayed-policies, read-policies Region NAS, SAN Cluster Point in time - versioning file-system Restore Clone Downtime Dumb-terminal, thin-clients, smart-clients, computer-client

[@engchoontan8483]

The strategies for flashdisk applied to database The strategies of database and versioning-file-systems applied to backup-strategies(incremental plus versioning) The OS and licensing server, software and licensing server, ... = full install of everything (with clone and without backup and with hashes) with option-features(no need to backup for install but full-seperation of settings to backup for user) turned-on-off for concurrent(easy to migrate hardware) Everything can be simplified until small full-clients(computers), without too much effort for virtualisation by using seperate small clusters for each purpose. Read from hot-standby(incremental+versioning) database, write to production-database, replicate-backup to multiple regional hot-standby database. From desktop to site to offices to regions to central...

[@engchoontan8483]

Oh, writing have to pass-through the respective-region before getting to the central... recovery speed should be assigning, cold-standy SAN.

[@asishmohanty5800]

Diaster recovery DR team Back up !

[@JohnnyARants]

How do you write like that? 😂

[@cvxcfv]

Is there a filter on his face? Lmao looks like Snapchat/IG

[@yoshbui2312]

You could refrain from using the filler "right". Fillers are not serving any purpose, and are annoying.
