Cloud 66 Feature Highlight: Verified Backups

While backups are an excellent way to start protecting your data from disasters and human error, you can do more to ensure their integrity with Verified Backups. Verified Backups work by running a user-defined query against a restored backup to ensure the data is what you expected it to be. Once the query runs successfully, the backup is marked as verified.

Why Admins HATE Their Backups

Many of us hate our backup environments. That’s because backups kind of suck, even with a backup product as great as IBM Spectrum Protect. As I said in another post, it’s the thing that everyone needs, but no one cares about, and most definitely can make your life crappy. Ask any backup admin, and I know they’ll agree. Go ahead; I’ll wait. Yep, they said the same thing, didn’t they?
