Choose the right cloud storage types and tiers, build backup policies that meet recovery objectives, protect data against ransomware, and test restore and disaster recovery plans in the cloud.
The Cloud Storage, Backup & Recovery course in Doha, Qatar focuses on keeping data available, protected and recoverable in the cloud. Learners compare object, block and file storage, explore storage classes and access tiers, and learn how replication, versioning and lifecycle policies work in services such as Amazon S3 and Azure Blob Storage. The course then covers backup strategy using the 3-2-1 rule, immutable backups, and services such as AWS Backup and Azure Backup, before moving on to disaster recovery planning and testing.
Exercises are built around realistic incidents, including accidental deletion, a ransomware attack and a regional outage. Participants define RPO and RTO for sample systems, configure backup policies and retention rules, perform restores and draft a disaster recovery runbook. Cost is considered throughout, so learners can balance protection with storage spending. Organizations can arrange this course as an in-house program, with scenarios based on their own systems, data classification and continuity requirements.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Compare object, block and file storage and select suitable services for each workload
Use storage classes, access tiers and lifecycle policies to control cost
Design backup policies using the 3-2-1 rule, retention schedules and immutable storage
