So do I just start grabbing hardware and slapping it together? Nope – think about your goals

What should I think about first? Type of disaster (never keep 2 keys on the same key chain) OS, Applications ,Points of Consistency, RTOs, RPOs, backup windows, retention, and cost

Any deeper technical things I can consider to do even better? Schedules, synthetics, dedupe, recovery testing (great idea to focus here)

Compliance – How long do I keep backup data ? Encryption (yes) Ok – so you made me think a ton…can I please build my bad ass backup target now? Where do I start for software?

Hardware – CPU, Bandwidth, Memory, Disk, SSDs, virtualization

Anything to consider for maintenance and tuning? Monitoring and analytics Support

Isn’t there a way that doesn’t require me to think so much? Yes – Recovery Series

“The ultimate goal is to come in each morning and see

“No backup failures”. This happens at least 99 times out of 100.

End of story. If an IT shop doesn’t give Unitrends a good, long hard look,

they are doing themselves a real disservice. I have recommended

Unitrends to many because I truly believe it will save their butt

at some point in their career.”

Scott Youlden, Mason General Hospital
