Disaster Recovery Tech Talk: Immutable Backups, Instant Restores, and Clean Recoveries

In this second session of Recovery Point’s Disaster Recovery Tech Talk series, we go deep on the building blocks of a modern disaster recovery strategy—designed for IT managers and infrastructure leads who need to outpace threats and recover with confidence.

We'll compare two leading immutability strategies—Linux Hardened Repositories and S3 Object Lock—explaining how they defend against ransomware, rogue insiders, and accidental deletions. You'll also get a technical walkthrough of storage optimization techniques that reduce cost without compromising security.

Then we go live: watch real-time recovery scenarios using Veeam, from instant recovery via LHR and S3 to full production restores. See malware scanning in action using YARA rules and Microsoft Defender, and explore how cleanroom recovery environments help validate and secure restores before they re-enter your network.

Key Takeaways:

• How to choose between Linux Hardened Repository and S3 Object Lock for backup immutability
• How to reduce cloud storage costs with Veeam’s deduplication and compression in S3
• How to execute instant and full VM recoveries in hybrid environments
• How to detect malware during recovery using YARA rules and Microsoft Defender
• How to implement cleanroom recovery environments for safe and isolated testing

Whether you're updating your DR plan or modernizing your infrastructure, this session delivers practical insights and live demos your team can apply immediately.
