Cybersecurity Backup and Restore Strategies

Welcome to the Cybersecurity Backup & Restore Strategies practice lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

Overview

Learning Outcomes:

In this module, you will complete the following exercises:

  • Exercise 1 – Redundancy
  • Exercise 2 – Replication
  • Exercise 3 – Backup Types
  • Exercise 4 – Create a System Image Backup
  • Exercise 5 – Nonpersistence and Resilience

After completing this module, you should be able to:

  • Use cloud storage for backup.
  • Establish an automated backup.
  • Initialize and create a new simple volume.
  • Perform a full backup in Windows.
  • Perform an incremental backup in Windows.
