Most outages involving scheduled system backup are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Systems supporting this area of technology and systems delivery fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of technology and systems delivery, not for observers of it. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what scheduled system backup has actually achieved. This programme builds this strand of technology and systems delivery from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around the technology and systems delivery capability reduces downstream rework. Participants apply scheduled system backup to their own technical platform throughout, so the output is directly usable. Moving the practice within technology and systems delivery from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of technology and systems delivery broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
