Backups & Disaster Recovery for Small and Medium Businesses

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.
