I want to repeat that aphorism that I was taught earlier in
my IT career, that a good backup is only as valid as its
ability to be successfully restored.
I never ever want to see you in the situation where you're called upon in a true
emergency to perform a restore and you realize, uh‑oh, I'm not as confident with
this process as I would have been if I had done periodic restores. And even
worse, I completed the restore, but I had something messed up in my backup
settings and the restore is invalid.
No, we don't want that.
Now, what's our lead or our prompt for the next module?
How about the issue of this hybrid cloud backup and
restore solution is fine as far as it goes,
but we have workloads running in Azure,
let's say, or maybe hybrid, on‑prem, other clouds local
that we cannot stand the downtime,
which could be ours in terms of rebuilding that resource from a backup snapshot.
What else is possible? And I had alluded to it a few times.
This is called Azure Site Recovery, or ASR, and that's what
we're going to do in the next module, implement disaster
recovery by using Azure Site Recovery.
Thanks very much. I look forward to seeing you then
