Maintaining continuity: CPM
• Scenario 1: when patches go bad:
– March 2018 – patch rolled out on a production server
– Vulnerability discovered
– Engineers located the snapshot
– Detached the corrupted Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume
– Manually created new volume from snapshot
– Attached new EBS volume to the instance
• Scenario 2: single-file restore, made easy:
– Disaster comes in all shapes and sizes. With N2WS Notre Dame can recover anything
very quickly - from single files to full restores.
