Polling Question
Which of the following best describes your data backup and recovery solution for your business?
The Three R’s Of Disaster Recovery
• Readiness
• Recovery
• Return
Readiness
• Set Recovery Expectations not Goals
• Seed and update DR Site Based on Expectations
Expectations Are Service Level Objectives
• Recovery Point Objective
• How much data loss?
• Version Retention Objective
• How long does data need to be retained?
• Where should it be retained?
• Recovery Time Objective
• When can users login?
• Geographic Recovery Objective
• What is the acceptable distance?
• How will you get people to DR site?
Each SLO Has:
Should be set for each application and/or data set
Seeding And Updates Driven By SLOs
• Tape Vault (24 hours +)
• Async Replication of Disk Backup Appliance (12-24 hours)
• Async Replication of Live Volume (4-8 hours)
• Synchronous Replication of Production Volume (0-4 hours)
Recovery Driven By RTO
• Recovery via copying Data from Backup Storage to Production Storage
• Recovery via Mounting Backup Storage as Production Storage
• Recovery via Activating Data Set already on Production Storage
Return
• Dependent on State of Original Site and length of time at DR
• Bandwidth back from DR to (new) Primary Key Challenge
• Backup techniques like deduplication, change block tracking won’t help
• Primary Options are:
• Continue to Run at DR Site until a reverse synchronization is complete
• Ship Bulk data set, recover, than do quicker sync
Do It Yourself DR vs. Disaster Recovery as a Service
As A Service
DIY DR
DRaaS
Do It Yourself DR• Ready
• Purchase additional data center
• Equip data center with critical servers, storage
• Purchase appropriate network connectivity
• Prep data center based on SLO
• Recovery• Get people to DR site (Hardest part of DR)
• Begin recovery process based on SLO
• Return• Resurrect or new build data center
• Manage recovery process
• Continue to manage DR site (it’s now production)
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)• Ready
• No secondary data center to buy
• No equipment to buy
• Network connectivity the same as DIY
• Data center prep is similar (might be packaged different)
• Recovery• No people to move (some providers will recover for you)
• Recovery process can start as soon as you declare
• Same constraints on recovery
• Investigate concerns about share infrastructure
• Return• Same issues / process as DIY
• But provider should provide some help
• Allows IT to focus on new / rebuilt data center
5 Things You Should Do Before A Disaster - The “Ready” Phase
As A Service
❏ Set Expectations (SLOs)
❏ Decide on DR site (Secondary data center, Hosted Facility, Service Provider)
❏ Decide on Distance (Far enough away, but easy to get to)
❏ Decide what data does NOT need to be recovered
❏ Test, Test, Test
5 Things You Should Do During A Disaster
As A Service
❏ Perform final copy-sync if possible
❏ Initiate an Organized Recovery (Only recover what is critical)
❏ Estimate time at DR Site (hours, days, weeks)
❏ Start a new backup process (what if DR site fails?)
❏ Plan the Return - Begin reverse-seeding ASAP
5 Things You Should Do During The Return
As A Service
❏ If syncing then organize return based on least critical application first
❏ If shipping data select rugged disk array or tape
❏ Test, Test, Test before re-routing users
❏ Begin backups as soon as tests - fresh copy - don’t overwrite originals
❏ Maintain DR compute as long as possible
