6. On-premises Backup Solutions
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO) vs Recovery Point
Objective (RPO),
• Hyper-V replication and Failover
• Windows Server Backup
• Microsoft Data Protection manager
7. Recovery Time Objective vs Recovery Point Objective
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO), which
represents the acceptable amount of time it
takes to restore the original functionality of a
production system.
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO), which
represents the acceptable amount of data loss
following the restore of a production system
8. Some On-Premise backup tools
• Hyper-V replication
and Failover
• Windows Server
Backup
• Microsoft Data
Protection manager
11. Microsoft Data Protection Manager
System Center 2012 – Data Protection Manager (DPM) is an enterprise
backup system. You can use DPM to back up application data from Microsoft
servers and workloads, and to back up file data from servers and client
computers. You can create full backups, incremental backups, differential
backups, and bare-metal backups to completely restore a system.
13. Azure Site Recovery Vault
• A Recovery Services vault is an online storage entity in Azure
used to hold data such as backup copies, recovery points,
and backup policies. You can use Recovery Services vaults to
hold backup data for Azure services and on-premises servers
and workstations.

14. Azure Retention Policy
1. Daily retention policy: Backups taken daily are stored for seven days.
2. Weekly retention policy: Backups taken every day at midnight and 6PM Saturday are
preserved for four weeks
3. Monthly retention policy: Backups taken at midnight and 6pm on the last Saturday of
each month are preserved for 12 months
4. Yearly retention policy: Backups taken at midnight on the last Saturday of every March
are preserved for 10 years
15. Azure Retention Policy
The total number of “retention points” (points from which a customer can restore
data) in the preceding diagram is computed as follows:
• two points per day for seven days = 14 recovery points
• two points per week for four weeks = 8 recovery points
• two points per month for 12 months = 24 recovery points
• one point per year per 10 years = 10 recovery points
• The total number of recovery points is 56.
Note
• Azure backup doesn't have a restriction on number of recovery points.
24. File and folder backups with the Azure Backup agent
1. Create an Azure Backup vault
2. Download the vault credentials
3. Download and install the Azure Backup agent
4. Register the computer with the vault and set the
password
5. Configure the initial backup type, choose files
and folders to back up, and then create a
backup schedule
