Lab Overview

Disaster recovery planning is essential for the SAP-C02 exam. This lab lets you implement a complete backup and restore strategy using AWS Backup and native services. Launch EC2 and RDS resources, then configure AWS Backup with daily and weekly retention rules including cross-region copy. Perform on-demand backups and simulate real restore scenarios, measuring actual RTO metrics. Build a CloudWatch dashboard to visualize restore times and document your RPO/RTO findings for exam readiness.
