Modern vs Legacy: The Recovery Test Your Backup Platform Hasn't Passed Yet

Recoverable is not the same as backed up.

Legacy backup was built to protect data. But protecting data and recovering is quickly, safely and at scale are two very different things. 

As environments grow more complex, the gap between "backed up" and "actually recoverable" grows with them.

So, here'es the question: If your organization faced a cyber incident today, could your current backup platform deliver the recovery you need?

Join fellow IT, infrastructure, and security leaders and an open, practical discussion about the realities of modern recovery. Challenge assumptions, share experiences, and explore what a genuinely resilient recovery strategy needs to deliver.

No vendor promises. No recovery claims taken on faith. Just the questions every organization should be asking before it's too late. 

The Questions Behind True Cyber Resilience

Recovery capabilities can look impressive on paper. The real test comes when your organization needs to restore critical systems under pressure.

This roundtable will explore the challenges that emerge when legacy backup architectures meet modern recovery demands.

1. Where the Strain Shows Up First - As data volumes grow and environments become more complex, where does your current architecture begin to buckle? And what does that mean for recovery times, operational continuity, and business risk?

2. The Real Cost of Staying Put - What's actually stopping organizations from moving beyond their current backup platforms? Explore the technical, operational and organizational barriers that make change difficult - even when the limitations are clear. 

3. Recovery at Scale, Not in a Demo - Restoring a handful of test VMs is one thing. Recovering an entire environment under real-world pressure is another. Could your platform deliver when everything is on the line?

4. What "Modern" Actually Has to Prove - Modern recovery is about more than new features or bold promises. What would a platform need to demonstrate before you'd trust it to protect your organizations ability to recover?

The Conversation IT and Security Leaders Need to Have

This is an opportunity to step beyond the usual resilience talking points and examine what recovery looks like in practice.

Together, we'll tackle the questions that matter most:

• Where does your current architecture struggle first? Identify the pressure points that emerge as data grows and infrastructure evolves.
• What's really holding you back from moving on? Unpack the practical barriers to replacing legacy backup platforms.
• What's the true cost of recovery today? Look beyond theoretical recovery times to the operational reality.
• Could you recover at scale tomorrow? Examine whether your recovery strategy extends beyond isolated test environments.
• How do you validate a modern platform? Identify the evidence and testing needed before trusting recovery claims.
• Can you restore safely? Explore how to validate a recovered environment before reconnecting it to production.
• What's genuinely new about agentic-era risk? Separate emerging threats from repackaged marketing claims.
• Does recovery performance hold up under pressure? Challenge the assumption that performance in a demo translates to performance at scale.

We'll also confront two questions every resilience leader should be able to answer:

What's the most overestimated capability in cyber resilience - and what's the reality?

What's one thing leaders should stop doing, and one thing they should start doing immediately?

It's whether you can recover when it counts.

A backup strategy is only as strong as its ability to deliver a safe, reliable recovery when your organization needs it most.
