• Solid technical understanding of enterprise backup and restore processes, including backup architecture, retention, replication, encryption, immutability, recovery validation, and common failure scenarios
• Experience reviewing or developing technical IT disaster recovery plans, including recovery architectures, system dependencies, recovery sequencing, and alignment with RTO and RPO targets
• Ability to assess redundancy and resilience designs across infrastructure, networks, applications, databases, and cloud services, and to identify single points of failure
