Business, like life, doesn't always go as planned. When disaster strikes, it's important to have a plan to get operations back online and start salvaging systems and data. Windows administrators are a key part of the recovery. This course shows you how to plan and implement a business continuity and disaster recovery strategy, which includes data protection and failover, using Windows Server 2012 R2. Ed Liberman teaches how to implement Windows Server 2012 R2 backup and recovery, configure network load balancing (NLB) for high availability of TCP/IP services, maintain a failover cluster, and implement Hyper-V failover clustering for virtual machines.
