ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at both the data services technology and tools and the techniques as well as data protection tips for data infrastructure and applications. Recovery-time objective is how much time is allowed before applications, data, or data infrastructure components need to be accessible, consistent, and usable. Data copies can be accomplished using backup/restore, archiving, versioning, point-in-time snapshot, continuous data protection, copy, clone, sync, and share, along with replication and mirroring. From a data infrastructure perspective, availability of data services spans from local to remote, physical to logical and software-defined, virtual, container, and cloud, as well as mobile devices. Data protection focus is tied to different threat risks or things that can happen, or impact data infrastructure as well as applications and data. From a data infrastructure perspective, availability of data services spans from local to remote, physical to logical and software-defined, virtual, container, and cloud, as well as mobile devices.
