This system leverages a Continuous Backup Continuous Recovery (CBCR) framework, handling petabytes of data across various databases like MySQL and Apache Cassandra. The optimized process includes centralized adaptive scheduling, continuous restore validation, and effective integration using a backup and restore framework with technology-specific plugins. Enhancements have reduced Recovery Point Objective (RPO) to as low as 4 hours and improved Recovery Time Objective (RTO) to 300 TB per hour. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
