Data backup and recovery used to be a chore at best, but it’s making a more nuanced return. In this episode of The New Stack Makers, we spoke to Chris Wahl, Chief Technical Evangelist at Rubrik.

Chris told us about his experience in the past with data backup and recovery, and how it wasn’t always an area he looked forward to handling. Rubrik is trying to bring a greater focus to backup and cloud data management while also making it easier to enable other parts of the business. We talked about how data backup affects data center decisions, the necessity of using APIs, and how new users bring Rubrik into their organizations. We also learned more about the recent Rubrik 3.1 release and their future product roadmap.
