Optimizing Backup Failure Remediation

Fighting backup failure fires has historically been part of every backup administrator’s life. It’s stressful, it’s time intensive, and, ironically, doesn’t always focus attention on the most important issue: protecting valuable data. 

With limited insight into the underlying causes of backup failures, backup admins have generally been forced to manually look at each and every failure, identify critical issues, and then develop a remediation plan. It’s a time intensive process that can result in critical failures being deprioritized and left unattended for too long.  

Yet by adding value-rich pieces of information to each backup failure record, organizing similar failure types together, and adding automation through the entire remediation process, admins can vastly simplify and prioritize their workflow. Data stays protected while order is finally brought to the failure correction process.
