  • Summary

  • Understanding your backup window is crucial for effective data protection, but there's a twist - it's not just about backup speed. In this episode, we explore why focusing solely on backup speed misses the point entirely. The real measure of success? Your recovery capabilities.

    Join W. Curtis Preston and Prasanna Malaiyandi as they share war stories about backup windows gone wrong, including a memorable tale involving tape drives that could write but couldn't read. Learn why traditional backup windows have evolved, how modern technologies have changed the game, and most importantly, why your recovery testing matters more than your backup speed. We also dive into deduplication taxes, recovery groups, and why instant recovery capabilities might be your best friend in a crisis.

    This is the recovery failure we alluded to w/our friend Stuart Liddle: https://www.backupwrapup.com/laptop-restore-nightmare-900gb/
