👉 Backup engineering is a critical aspect of system reliability and disaster recovery planning, focusing on creating redundant systems and processes to ensure continuous operation in the event of primary system failures or disasters. It involves designing and implementing secondary components, such as backup servers, storage solutions, network paths, and failover mechanisms, that can seamlessly take over in case of a primary system's unavailability. This includes regular data replication, load balancing, and testing of failover procedures to guarantee minimal downtime and data integrity. By having a robust backup infrastructure, organizations can maintain operational continuity, protect against data loss, and ensure business resilience in the face of unexpected disruptions.
