Enterprise Storage and Data Protection Summit

For most organizations, the challenge has shifted from investing in backups to mastering recovery. Even with advanced tools, immutable storage and defined RTO and RPO targets, most organizations are still unable to demonstrate recovery at production scale. The gap between having backups and executing recovery when it matters is a major risk. When ransomware hits, theoretical metrics and preparedness plans are put to the test. In that moment, the ability to restore operations at scale becomes the definitive measure of readiness.

This session addresses how to close the recovery gap. Drawing on real-world recovery programs, we look at the practical steps that make recovery achievable: coordinating recovery efforts, understanding system dependencies, preparing safe restore environments, handling contamination, and running practice drills to find weak spots before an incident. We also confront the reporting gap, where leadership sees backup metrics that reassure but say little about restore confidence.

Join Obuks Akpede, Data Governance Consultant at Adastra Corporation to explore how leading enterprises are reframing recovery as an engineered capability.

Key Takeaways:
- Apply a practical framework to transform backup operations into engineered recovery capability.
- Adopt operational disciplines that build restore confidence and eliminate recovery assumptions.
- Design rehearsal programs that reveal real failure modes before incidents occur
Implement executive reporting models that translate recovery posture into defensible, board-level assurance.
- Close the gap between backup investment and production-scale recovery execution with targeted strategies.
