Backups are considered as the last line of defense after a security incident happened. Too bad, if the backup cannot be used for restore or there are not even backups. Learn how to avoid common mistakes in the field of data protection and recovery.

This presentation uses real customer scenarios that the presenter has seen over the last 10 years working for a backup software vendor. This does not only cover classic backup challenges, but also how security teams interact with backup teams (or not).

Same as statements “our data is in the cloud, we don’t need backup” are hardly ever a good approach for the next (cyber) incident.
