Episode 83 — Design Backup Strategies Restore Choices Testing Schedules and Rotation Schemes
This episode covers backup planning from the technician’s point of view, with emphasis on whether recovery will actually work when it is needed. For the A+ exam, you should understand backup types, restore choices, testing schedules, storage locations, and rotation schemes. The episode explains the difference between making copies and building a recovery plan, because a backup that cannot be restored does not protect the user or the organization. Practical examples include choosing full, incremental, or differential backups, keeping copies separate from the original system, testing restores on a schedule, and deciding how long backup media should be retained. In real work, technicians must consider data importance, recovery time, storage limits, and the risk of device failure, accidental deletion, ransomware, or disaster.
