Webinar: Virtual Machine Backups – RTO and RPO Considerations for you SQL Server
Some companies take virtual machine snapshots of their web servers, their file servers, and their Citrix servers. They regularly snapshot before software patching, before server upgrades, and before other configuration changes. Snapshotting a good way to ensure they can recover the VM if something goes wrong. So, that begs the question: should you use VM snapshots to backup a SQL Server? What are the RTO and RPO considerations of using snapshots instead of other approaches to backups?

Backups are good. But it’s the ability to restore that is important.
We help a lot of companies prepare their SQL Server environment so that when a disaster strikes, they’ll be prepared. They know they have good backups. They know they can restore in a timely manner (RTO) and to a point-in-time (RPO) that is important to them.
