About Arnav Mishra

Passionate about safeguarding business-critical data and ensuring seamless IT operations. With 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Senior Backup Administrator, I specialize in managing enterprise backup environments, disaster recovery, and cloud data protection across diverse infrastructures.I’ve worked extensively with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), Rubrik, Veritas Backup Exec, and EMC DPA, ensuring 99.9% data reliability for mission-critical business systems. Certified as a Google Associate Cloud Engineer, I actively bridge the gap between traditional infrastructure and cloud-native solutions. A moment that shaped my career:Early in my career, I was once tasked with restoring a critical financial database for a global client, mid-quarter closing — with systems down and pressure rising by the minute. Despite limited resources and no clear runbook, I took charge, rebuilt the backup chain, collaborated with vendor support, and successfully completed the restore hours ahead of expected timelines. That incident not only earned me leadership recognition but also made me realize how backup administrators are often the silent saviors of business continuity.Since then, I’ve embraced every challenge in backup, recovery, and infrastructure management with the same urgency and ownership. Key Skills:IBM TSM | Rubrik | Veritas | EMC DPA | VMware vSphere | Google Cloud | Backup Troubleshooting | Cloud Archival | Data Migration | Web & App Server Management | ServiceNow | SQL | ITIL (Incident & Change Management)I’m always open to connecting with professionals in the Data Protection, Backup, and Cloud Infrastructure domains. Let’s connect and share ideas!
