Tiivistelmä
The primary goal of this thesis was to research, test and compare Windows Backup Role and Veeam Backup Agent. This thesis gives the reader a general idea of what type of backups there are and how different kind of solutions can be implemented in an envi-ronment.
Backup and Disaster recovery have a vital role in daily IT operations. Backups define major aspects of a business continuity plan in an enterprise. It is critical that the solu-tions work and constant improvement to the backup solutions is made to ensure that files or even whole servers can be recovered safely and within the time window.
This thesis consists of two parts. The first focuses on the theory and history of backups and disaster recovery. The second part tests backup and disaster solutions used at the enterprise level. Two backup solutions were tested, and various measurements were taken and compared. Some values that were analyzed were the backup time, time of recovery and use of resources and computing power when working on a backup. This experiment was performed in a lab environment.
