What this session would cover
Proposed outline — the mentor finalises the agenda once this topic is scheduled.
- 1Why backup, disaster recovery & business continuity matters — the common problem: Backups exist on paper but have never been restored, so recovery time is unknown.
- 2Core concepts in plain language: Backup strategies, snapshots, replication, restore testing, recovery-point objectives, recovery-time objectives
- 3Going further: failover, failback, redundant infrastructure, disaster simulations, continuity plans, recovery runbooks
- 4Framework walkthrough: OSI / TCP-IP Models, SLI / SLO / Error Budgets, ITIL Practices, FinOps Framework
- 5Practical workflow, built live: RPO/RTO targets, a backup plan, a timed restore drill and a recovery runbook.
- 6How to measure it: Availability, Mean time to recovery, Incident frequency, Cost per unit of usage
- 7An illustrative case (a fictional example, not a client result), then live Q&A on your own situation
Who it's for
- • Students and freshers entering tech
- • Working developers and engineers
