Virtualization backup and disaster recovery strategies


With server virtualization for disaster recovery, you can develop a business continuity strategy that includes backup and recovery techniques with virtualized servers rather than dedicating idle physical servers to backup tasks. In addition to reducing hardware costs and data center footprint, using server virtualization as part of your disaster recovery strategy can improve system uptime and recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives as well as ensure the integrity of the data you retrieve. Using virtualization for disaster recovery can also help with testing and development of your recovery site. In this section, we offer resources on server virtualization for disaster recovery and provide tutorials on requirements and best practices for creating a disaster recovery site with virtualization, the pros and cons of backup techniques such as file-level versus block-level deduplication, snapshotting, using golden images to restore data, failover technologies, the pros and cons of Fibre Channel versus iSCSI storage area networks (SANs), the advantages and disadvantages of hosted disaster recovery services, and more.
