New products and functions such as deduplication appliances, snapshots and continuous data protection, as well as service offerings such as managed backup or cloud backup, make it necessary to put tried and tested backup strategies to the test. Can the backup actually be created within the specified time window? Where can the data backup be optimized? Where can costs be saved?



Dr. Wolfgang Weith, Managing Director and Senior Consultant at Infotouch GmbH, provides answers to these questions in the one-day intensive seminar "Backup basics - concepts and technologies for a secure backup infrastructure". In this seminar, optimized backup concepts will be created, procedures scrutinized and optimized backup and restore performance demonstrated. The organizer, the SearchStorage Academy, is stopping off in four cities: Hamburg (13 September), Düsseldorf (15 September), Frankfurt (20 September) and Munich (22 September).



Backup in virtual environments

As a supplement to this one-day seminar, the speaker recommends the seminar "Secure backup in virtualized environments", which will take place the following day at the same seminar location. In this seminar, Dr. Weith will explain how the backup of virtual environments differs from classic backup scenarios, where the pitfalls lie and how to create optimized backup concepts for virtual environments.
