Backup and Disaster Recovery for Businesses

Backup and Disaster Recovery for Businesses

Data loss can paralyse a business. Whether caused by ransomware, hardware failure, human error or natural disaster, having a reliable backup strategy is essential to ensure business continuity.

The 3-2-1 rule

The 3-2-1 rule recommends having three copies of data on two different media, with one copy off-site. This approach balances local protection with geographic redundancy.

Cloud backup versus local backup

Local backup allows fast recovery of small files. Cloud backup protects against theft, fire or local ransomware. Combining both offers the best protection.

Disaster recovery plan

Having backups is not enough: you need to know how to recover. A disaster recovery plan defines recovery times, responsibilities, restoration order and periodic tests to validate the process.

GDPR compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation requires appropriate technical measures to protect personal data. An encrypted and tested backup is a fundamental requirement for compliance.
