Webinar | PostgreSQL Backup SLAs: How to Verify RPO, RTO and Restore Readiness
Successful backups do not necessarily mean your PostgreSQL environment is recoverable. In this practical webinar, Semab will explain how to translate business requirements into measurable RPO and RTO targets, test restoration readiness, identify gaps in recovery plans and retain evidence that demonstrates recoverability.
Join Semab Tariq on 23 September 2026 at 3 PM GMT for a session on “PostgreSQL Backup SLAs: How to Verify RPO, RTO and Restore Readiness.”
This webinar is especially relevant for people responsible for proving that a business-critical PostgreSQL system can actually be recovered, and not merely that backups are running, particularly in organizations where data loss or prolonged downtime has material consequences.
Note: This is not primarily a beginner or general-learning webinar.
This session will cover:
→ Why successful backups do not prove recoverability
→ How to translate business requirements into RPO and RTO
→ What a PostgreSQL restoration test should include
→ Common gaps in recovery plans
→ What evidence teams should retain after testing
→ A practical recovery-readiness checklist
Who should attend?
This webinar is for PostgreSQL DBAs, database engineers, SREs, platform and infrastructure leads, technical architects, and engineering leaders who:
- Run PostgreSQL in production, particularly for customer-facing or business-critical systems
- Take regular backups but lack confidence in restoration testing or actual recoverability
- Need clearly defined RPO and RTO commitments, audit evidence, or customer assurance
- Operate regulated, high-availability, or SLA-bound services
- Are preparing for an audit, resilience review, cloud migration, or disaster-recovery exercise
