Backup and disaster recovery certifications are seeing a healthy uptrend as new cloud-based BC/DR tools proliferate the market. While business continuity and disaster recovery have always been important to organizations, they're becoming more critical, and IT certifications are following suit. Here are the best BCP/DRP certs for 2014.
With the increasing proliferation and use of cloud-based backup services -- including a broad range of business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) offerings in the cloud -- the subjects of business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery planning (DRP) have become considerably more tractable and occasionally less costly over the past three years. Nevertheless, BCP and DRP remain important elements in IT governance and compliance, especially for corporations and organizations that must meet various mandates regarding privacy, confidentiality, and availability of their systems and the data they house.

This probably explains why we're in something of a heyday for BCP and DRP certifications, as the rest of that IT niche explodes with investment and activity across the board. Given that the costs and complexities of designing, implementing, and maintaining the technology platforms for BCP and DRP have gotten somewhat simpler and less burdensome, many more organizations are starting to venture into this area of IT (though it's arguable that they should have been involved all along, lowering bars to entry always increases overall participation).
In summary, there are many good reasons why activity is picking up for BCP and DRP, and why certifications in these related areas are following suit. Read on to learn more about some of the leading lights for both backup and disaster recovery certifications.
