Protect Your Data Against Ransomware and Restore FastBy Mira Yamada
Length8h 23m
About this audiobook
Backup and disaster recovery plan, data loss prevention, business continuity strategy — if you're searching for these, you need The Backup and Disaster Recovery Playbook. This is the working administrator's manual for building backups that actually restore, replication that stays in sync, failover that triggers without panic, and recovery plans that survive real outages. No theory, no fluff — just battle-tested procedures from Mira Yamada, a veteran sysadmin who has recovered from ransomware, hardware failures, and cloud meltdowns.
You'll learn how to design backup schedules that balance RPO and RTO, implement replication across on-prem and cloud environments, automate failover testing, and document recovery steps so any team member can execute them under pressure. The book covers backup validation, incremental vs. full strategies, tape vs. disk vs. cloud, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that turn a drill into a disaster. Each chapter includes checklists, sample scripts, and real-world case studies from outages that made headlines — and some that didn't.
Whether you're a junior admin setting up your first backup job or a senior architect hardening a multi-site infrastructure, this playbook gives you the repeatable framework to protect your data and your career. Stop hoping your backups work — start proving they do. Unlike the fictional narratives in The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates (One World Essentials) by [placeholder] or the psychological twists of The Other Emily by [placeholder], this is a practical, no-nonsense guide for IT professionals who need results, not stories.
