• Step 5: Validate backups and perform a test recovery — Create or review backup jobs for protected workloads, ensure replication tasks are configured, and run a non-disruptive test restore to verify data integrity and recovery objectives. Document recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) for ongoing monitoring.
• Step 6: Establish ongoing monitoring and maintenance routines — Set up alerts, runbooks, and regular test restores to maintain confidence in your protection strategy. Schedule quarterly license reviews to confirm entitlement alignment with actual instance counts and workloads.
