Vanessa Toves, Druva's Microsoft 365 Solutions Architect, joins us on this episode to explain some unique things about Microsoft 365. Specifically, she discusses a few scenarios that she says are quite common in the field, and are unrecoverable without a backup. She talks about accidentally deleting someone from a group, or deleting a group itself. There is nothing within SharePoint to tell you who was in a group yesterday. The same goes for SharePoint library permissions, which also commonly get misconfigured in the field. She explains how these are very common helpdesk tickets at previous customers of hers (when she was a Microsoft365 consultant), and how there is no way to recover this information without a third-party backup like Druva's inSync.

Nick Stachniak, an Oracle DBA for over 25 years, joins Stephen Manley and W. Curtis Preston on this episode to take a deeper dive into Oracle backups. We discuss the Phoenix Backup Store and how it helps customers create a local cache of their Oracle backup before it is deduplicated and backed up to the cloud. Then we dive deeper into the Oracle RMAN Image Copy, comparing and contrasting it to Oracle RMAN SBT format. Nick explains how an RMAN image copy gives you all the benefits of the old SBT format, while giving several new advantages.

Stephen and Curtis are joined by Nick Stachniack to discuss Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) and how its usage has changed over the years.

We also talk about how Druva uses this relatively new features to solve its customers Oracle backup challenges.
