Backup Architect information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a backup architect?

To thrive as a Backup Architect, you need expertise in data protection strategies, storage systems, and backup and recovery solutions, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Proficiency with tools such as Veeam, Commvault, Veritas NetBackup, and familiarity with cloud services like AWS or Azure is essential, along with relevant certifications (e.g., Veeam Certified Engineer, AWS Certified Solutions Architect). Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for designing robust backup solutions and collaborating with IT teams. These skills ensure data integrity, minimize downtime, and protect critical business information in complex IT environments.

What are some common challenges faced by backup architects when designing data protection solutions in large organizations?

Backup Architects often encounter challenges such as integrating legacy systems with modern backup technologies, ensuring scalability to handle growing data volumes, and maintaining compliance with data protection regulations. They must balance the need for fast recovery times with budget constraints and the practical limitations of network and storage infrastructure. Collaborating with cross-functional teams—such as IT security, database administrators, and business stakeholders—is essential to ensure solutions meet organizational needs while minimizing disruption.

What is a backup architect?

Backup Architects are IT professionals responsible for designing, implementing, and managing data backup and recovery solutions within an organization. They assess business needs and develop strategies to ensure that critical data is protected against loss, corruption, or disasters. Their role involves selecting appropriate backup technologies, creating policies for data retention, and regularly testing recovery procedures to guarantee data integrity and availability. Backup Architects also collaborate with other IT teams to integrate backup solutions with existing infrastructure and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Backup and Recovery Engineer
Job Overview:
The Backup and Recovery Engineer are a member of the Architecture Solutions team responsible for designing, administering, monitoring, and continuously improving enterprise backup, recovery, and data resilience services across on-premises, cloud, and software-as-a-service environments. This role protects the availability, integrity, and recoverability of the organization's systems and information by ensuring backup policies, retention schedules, recovery objectives, and restoration procedures align with business, operational, and cybersecurity requirements.
As Backup and Recovery Engineer, you will serve as a technical owner for backup platforms and repositories, manage daily operations, investigate failures, perform restorations, and maintain secure recovery capabilities designed to withstand system failures, human error, and disaster recovery events. This position partners closely with infrastructure, cybersecurity, application, database, and business teams to validate recoverability, support disaster recovery exercises, and improve enterprise resilience. This is a full-time, on-site position at Evapco's corporate headquarters in Taneytown, Maryland. Very infrequent travel may be required.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Define and maintain recovery objectives, restoration procedures, dependency maps, runbooks, and technical documentation for critical systems.
  • Conduct routine restore testing, disaster recovery exercises, and cyber recovery simulations; document results and remediation actions.
  • Design and maintain secure, resilient backup architectures using least privilege, multifactor authentication, encryption, immutability, offline copies, and geographically separated recovery data.
  • Support incident response, business-critical recoveries, change management, audit evidence, and compliance requirements related to backup and recovery services.
  • Track service health, capacity, recovery performance, and SLA attainment; coordinate platform upgrades, vendor support, licensing, and lifecycle planning.
  • Automate operational tasks and reporting, evaluate emerging technologies, and advise infrastructure and application teams on backup onboarding and recoverability.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience

  • Experience supporting backup and restoration for Windows and Linux servers, virtualized environments, file services, databases, and cloud workloads.
  • Specific knowledge of on-premises solutions including NAS devices exposed by a SAN, snapshots, deduplication, file partitioning, and segmentation.
  • Working knowledge of backup architecture, retention, replication, recovery points, immutability, encryption, storage repositories, and data lifecycle management
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex backup failures and successfully execute restoration and recovery procedures
  • Familiarity with RPO, RTO, disaster recovery, business continuity, change management, incident management, and operational documentation practices
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams, vendors, and business stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications:

  • PowerShell, Python, REST API, infrastructure-as-code, or other automation experience
  • Vendor certifications such as Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE), Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, Veritas, Dell Technologies, Microsoft Azure, or AWS credentials
  • CompTIA Server+, Network+, Security+, ITIL 4 Foundation, or comparable infrastructure and service management certifications
