Welcome to Week 3. This week, we’ll focus on keeping critical workloads running when things go wrong. We begin with Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify vital processes and quantify risk. Next, we examine System Resiliency techniques that harden infrastructure against failure. You’ll then design a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP), selecting the right Backup types and mapping Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) targets. We’ll compare alternate recovery‑site options—cold, warm, and hot—and wrap up with end‑to‑end Disaster Recovery plan scenarios, illustrating backup, replication, and failover strategies.
