01 · Learn

What you will learn

Choose a backup design from recovery requirements and prove that its files and WAL are usable.

  • Turn recovery needs into a backup design
  • Verify backup files and WAL delivery
  • Make restore testing routine

02 · Use it

Why this matters

A successful backup job is not evidence that the organisation can restore the required service.

03 · Practise

What you will do

Read each short section, answer a quick understanding check, then use real SQL to solve a guided task in your own temporary database.

04 · Prove it

How you will finish

Pass the SQL lab and the module assessment. Your result is saved to your signed-in account, and a module certificate is created if you pass.
