Introduction


Data recovery has been a natural component of the business continuity plan for many years. Restore is the key for all the backup story. The most important fact to realize is that backup without validating the restore does not guarantee that your backup plan is completed and the data is recoverable. The recovery can be presented in many shapes and can also be transformed over a period of time within companies and organizations.

In this chapter, we will cover how to restore data for different workloads to make sure that the backed-up data is recoverable and accessible when a disaster strikes.
