Many companies pay only lip service to backup plans and then only learn the hard way about this truth about databases:

As a company, YOUR DATA IS YOUR LIFE.  If you lose your data, your company will likely close.

Add to this scenario what happens if your #1 database support person is on vacation somewhere in Tahiti for two weeks.

 

Here's a sample of what I can do with you:

  • Assess your current backup plan for reliability, thoroughness, responsiveness, and effect on production,
    or create a new multi-layered plan specific to your company needs and based on your company's available infrastructure.

  • Discuss the relative merits and vulnerabilities of different backup methodologies as they apply to your specific situation, including popular topics such as:
    • Hot Backups
    • Failovers / Clusters
    • Use of cloud storage or facilities
    • Replication

  • Integrate your backups with other business needs to provide or improve services or even change production impact from a negative to a positive.
