Hello there, and welcome to Pluralsight. Welcome to this course
entitled Windows Server 2022: Implement Disaster Recovery.
This is the first of four modules.
Its title is Manage Backup for Windows Server, and my name's Tim Warner.
Our learning objectives for this first module are number one,
backing up and restoring files and folders to an Azure
Recovery Services vault. In so doing,
we'll learn how to create and manage backup policies for hybrid cloud
workloads, specifically those running in our on‑premises environment, we'll
understand how to install and manage Azure Backup Server, and then we'll use
Azure Backup Server to back up and recover workloads.
This course is entitled Windows Server 2022: Implement Disaster
Recovery, and we're concerned with a subset of the exam AZ‑801
certification objectives. Judging from the title,
you might think that this is all about business continuity disaster
recovery, or BCDR, and you're absolutely right.
We're covering the backup scenario here in module one.
Then we'll look at the bookend module on recovery, number two.
Then we'll look at, instead of backup and recovery,
which normally involves downtime, we'll understand Azure Site Recovery,
or ASR, and learn how to replicate and failover workloads for minimal
recovery time objective, or RTO. Lastly,
we'll understand how to protect our virtual machines
using the Hyper‑V Replica service.
The certification under consideration here is the Windows Server
Hybrid Administrator Associate credential.
In order to earn that credential,
you have to clear two exams. There's AZ‑800, Administering Windows
Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure, and AZ‑801, Configuring Windows
Server Hybrid Advanced Services.
I want you to understand a couple things.
One, I have created the learning paths at Pluralsight for both of these exams.
Number two, I created an introduction course for each of those exams.
So if you haven't watched my brief introductory course on AZ‑801,
I would encourage you to do so so that you can be informed as you're going
through this training where we're looking at the content, you also want to
think about in a parallel mental stream how this technical content will
manifest on your exam, and I want to make sure that you're equipped with all
the tools you need to be successful. To earn that certification, that is
Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate, as I said, you need to clear
both 800 and 801.
It doesn't matter which one you do first.
The certification badge has a one‑year validity, and you can renew it for
another year for free by taking a brief online assessment.
Again,
I cover all of that in those introductory courses. You can find the exercise
files by pointing your web browser to the course page, which you can see in
this screenshot. It's a different course, but it really doesn't matter. Note
that you need to do this on a full browser,
not on a mobile app. You'll want to mosey on over from
the Table of contents tab to the Exercise files tab and
click Download exercise files.
You'll bring down a ZIP archive that contains a folder for each module.
We've got four modules in this course plus the trailer.
Once you unpack or go into those module folders,
you'll find a PDF version of this slide deck, as well as any supplemental files.
Normally, I will give you a list of hyperlinks that are related to the
training, and if we're doing anything programmatically with Windows
PowerShell, I'll always share those script files with you. All right, let's get into the content.
