What is Disaster Recovery? It is the area of security planning that deals with protecting an organization from the effects of significant negative events. Significant negative events, in this context, can include anything that puts an organization’s operations at risk: Hardware Failure Cyberattacks Human Errors Natural Disasters

What is a Disaster Recovery Plan? It is a business plan that describes how work can be resumed as quickly and effectively after a disaster. It is also part of a business continuity plan which applies to organizations that rely on IT Infrastructure Services.

What should I add to my DR Plan? A plan to acquire hardware A communication plan A list of people to be contacted if a disaster occurs Instructions for contacting the people involved in the response to the disaster Information about who owns the administration of the plan A checklist of required task for each recovery scenario. This will help you review how disaster recovery is progressing.

Do you remember our First Meetup? Omar Gonzalez presented Recovery Modes and Backups Strategy in SQL Server. Let’s have fun and apply what we learned during our last meetup

First Scenario You are a consultant, One of your customers is asking you to create a disaster recovery plan for a DB his company use for Sales. Important points to consider: DB Size: 300 GBs SQL Server Version: 2014 Enterprise Edition Transactions per Hour: ~ 200 Data Loss: No more than 5 minutes DB is NOT Encrypted You have a local drive of 100 GBs to store backups of Sales DB

Answer below questions? Which Recovery Mode would you use? Why? Which Backup Strategy would you use? Why? Is there any Backup feature you consider important to save disk space? Why? What would you set as Retention Policy? Why?

Second Scenario If we have time we will do other scenario on the fly to get more fun…
