Backup & Disaster Recovery Certification Program
A comprehensive 18-month journey through enterprise data protection, covering everything from basic backup strategies to advanced disaster recovery orchestration across hybrid cloud environments.
Foundation Level
Start with fundamental concepts of data protection, backup methodologies, and recovery planning principles.
Advanced Implementation
Deep dive into enterprise solutions, automation frameworks, and cross-platform recovery strategies.
Specialized Tracks
Choose your specialization: Cloud DR, Database Recovery, or Infrastructure Resilience.
Learning Path Structure
Our curriculum follows a progressive skill-building approach, where each module builds upon previous knowledge while introducing new challenges. Students work through real-world scenarios that mirror actual enterprise environments.
The program starts in September 2025, with intensive hands-on labs beginning in November. Each cohort is limited to 24 students to ensure personalized attention.
Data Protection Fundamentals
Building the theoretical foundation and practical understanding of backup strategies. Students learn the core principles that govern all modern backup solutions, from file-level protection to bare-metal recovery scenarios.
Enterprise Backup Solutions
Hands-on experience with industry-standard platforms including Veeam, Commvault, and NetBackup. Students configure, monitor, and troubleshoot backup jobs across diverse IT environments.
Cloud & Hybrid Recovery
Modern disaster recovery extends beyond traditional boundaries. This module covers multi-cloud strategies, hybrid protection models, and the orchestration tools that make seamless recovery possible.
Automation & Orchestration
The final module focuses on building automated recovery workflows, creating custom monitoring solutions, and developing the scripting skills needed for modern DR operations.
Assessment Methods & Learning Support
We believe in practical evaluation that reflects real-world challenges. Our assessment approach combines hands-on demonstrations, scenario-based problem solving, and collaborative project work.
