Introduction
In the modern enterprise software landscape, backup and recovery is a mission critical process that directly impacts business continuity. It is a vital component of any application and recovery strategy that involves not just recovering corrupted or lost data assets but ensuring the overall application services and their components are restored to a functional state as fast and seamlessly as possible. However, due to the dynamic and distributed nature of complex cloud native containerized applications, it poses unique challenges for backup and recovery processes.
In this blog, we’ll examine some of these challenges and how our Service Orchestration Framework and Software Hub Backup and Restore (BR) tooling addresses them and improve the recovery process in IBM Software Hub v5.1.2 and forward.
