The objective of this project is to design and implement a cloud-based system for automated backup and disaster recovery. The system ensures data reliability, minimizes downtime, and provides rapid restoration in case of system failure, helping students understand cloud backup strategies and disaster recovery planning.
Study cloud computing fundamentals and disaster recovery (DR) concepts.
Analyze common data loss scenarios and backup strategies (full, incremental, differential).
Prepare Software Requirement Specification (SRS) and disaster recovery workflow documentation.
Design system architecture including backup scheduler, cloud storage, recovery module, and monitoring service.
Create database schema for users, backup jobs, storage locations, logs, and recovery points.
Implement secure user authentication and role-based access control.
Develop automated backup module to store critical data on cloud storage at scheduled intervals.
Implement data versioning and retention policies to manage backup history.
Develop disaster recovery module to restore data from latest or selected backup points.
Implement alert notifications for backup failures, storage issues, or recovery operations.
Maintain audit logs for all backup and recovery activities.
Design dashboard to monitor backup status, storage usage, and recovery operations.
Perform unit testing, integration testing, and recovery testing for data integrity and reliability.
Simulate data loss scenarios and validate restoration procedures.
Apply secure coding practices and encryption techniques for data in transit and at rest.
Prepare documentation including ER diagrams, backup/recovery workflow diagrams, and test cases.
Deploy the system locally or on a cloud platform for demonstration.
