Backups & Disaster Recovery for Small and Medium Businesses
Who it is for: owners, office managers and IT staff responsible for "making sure we don't lose everything".
You will learn to:
- Work out what to back up, how often and for how long
- Set recovery targets (RPO and RTO) your business can live with
- Build copies that survive ransomware, theft and fire
- Back up servers, PCs, databases and cloud services such as Microsoft 365
- Prove backups work with scheduled restore tests and a written recovery plan
Format: 8 lessons with worked examples and a final quiz.
Community and help: every enrolled student gets the course Forum tab — ask the BOSS Pacific team or other students, share fixes and lab results. Read the BP Academy blog for updates and worked examples.
Includes: the full course as a licensed PDF workbook, available after purchase.
Hands-on labs: rent a ready environment from BOSS Pacific — Linux VM, Proxmox lab. Every lab resets every 24 hours and is removed at the end of your rental. Or build your own with the gear listed in the course.
