When was the last time you had to do a recover of your Db2 or IMS data? Or
should I ask is management asking, Is our mainframe critical database data
recoverable from any outage, attack, or production failures? The reasons to
recovery have changed over the last 30 years. Many times, it was self-inflicted,
hardware or software reasons – there are new recovery motives out there. Many of
us think Database data is covered along with our mainframe systems, mirrored
DASD to multiple remote sites. Bad data replicated two or three times, is still
bad data. A little work now can save many sleepless days, or should I say weeks
when something goes very wrong. As Mainframe professionals we can seek help from
above, the Cloud !!. Utilizing Cloud storage for our critical recovery artifacts
can give us an answer to all those questions. It is not all about having the
state of art Db2 Recovery tools – it is putting in the time to build the process
so if something happens, you are ready to react. This presentation will review
potential ways to prepare and practice Database Recovery utilizing the Cloud to
provide recovery even a manager can appreciate.
