Enterprise Backup Software Implementation and Administration

About the Course

This comprehensive technical course provides the essential knowledge and skills required to deploy, configure, and manage a leading enterprise-grade backup and recovery software suite. As data environments grow increasingly complex, this training addresses the critical need for scalable, automated, and reliable data protection across heterogeneous infrastructures. Students will gain proficiency in architecting robust backup environments in both Windows and Linux ecosystems.

The curriculum covers the entire software lifecycle, from initial planning and installation to advanced operations like database management, media handling, and disaster recovery of the backup server itself. Through detailed instructor-led demonstrations and rigorous hands-on laboratory exercises, participants will learn to manage backup devices, optimize data movement through cloning and staging, and implement specialized protection for virtualized environments.
