Is Backup Dead? The On-Premise IT Roundtable

The Premise: Backup is Dead.

Data protection used to be pretty straightforward. In recent years, there have been a number of changes in enterprise backup.

Now, we have different applications and different infrastructure, and we have to adjust our processes to accommodate new systems. In this episode, we're talking about backup.
