In the world of modern IT, reliability isn’t optional — it’s engineered. Every directory, every storage array, every backup workflow, and every script plays a role in delivering systems that people trust.
I’ve spent my career working across these layers, and this space is where I document everything I learn along the way.

Welcome to my technical journal.

Who I Am

I’m Mohit Saraswat, a Senior Infrastructure Engineer specializing in:

• Active Directory & Identity Services

• Storage Technologies (NetApp, Pure Storage)

• Backup & Disaster Recovery (Rubrik, Veeam, enterprise DR patterns)

• Virtualization & Infrastructure Optimization

• PowerShell-driven automation

• Hybrid/cloud-connected infrastructure

My work revolves around designing, operating, and securing enterprise IT foundations that support thousands of users and mission‑critical workloads.

Why I Created This Blog

Over the years, I noticed something that every infra engineer encounters:

Most infrastructure knowledge stays hidden inside organizations.

Critical lessons often live in old email threads, tribal knowledge, or undocumented fixes. This blog is my attempt to break that pattern.

I created this space to:

• Share practical, real‑world infrastructure insights

• Publish step-by-step guides based on hands‑on deployments

• Build a knowledge base I (and others) can rely on

• Document systems in a simple, understandable way

• Build my professional identity through mohitsaraswat.com

If you're working in infra, SRE, backups, storage, or Windows environments — I’m writing this for you.

What You’ll Find Here

1. Deep-Dive Technical Guides

From AD recovery best practices to Rubrik architectural decisions — detailed posts you can actually apply at work.

2. Storage & Backup Stories (The Real Stuff)

Troubleshooting journeys, lessons learned, and how I approach designing resilient data pipelines.

3. Infrastructure Architecture Patterns

High-level diagrams, design thinking, and decision-making frameworks used in enterprise environments.

4. Automation that Saves Hours

PowerShell snippets, scripts, and workflows to reduce repetitive admin tasks.

5. Personal Notes & Engineering Mindset

Because building infrastructure is also about building good habits, not just servers.

My Guiding Principle

Infrastructure engineers often work behind the scenes. When things work, no one notices; when they fail, everyone notices.

I write to bring visibility, clarity, and knowledge to this invisible but critical discipline.

If we design it right, no one realizes how much work went into making their day run smoothly.
If we document it right, others can do the same.
