Don’t Risk Data Loss
Bulletproof Cloud Backups for Small Business
If you are only backing up locally or onsite, you are missing the most important element of a good Backup/Disaster Recovery plan.
The 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
The best practice for backup and recovery.
Copies of Your Data
Keep at least three copies of your data. That includes the original copy and at least two backups.
Different Storage Types
The chances of having two failures of the same storage type are much better than for two different types of storage, such as an internal hard drive and external or removable storage.
Copy of the Data Offsite
Even if you have two copies on two separate storage types but both are stored onsite, a local disaster could wipe out both of them. Keep a third copy in an offsite location, like the cloud.
For Your Security
The 3-2-1 backup rule is a best practice for onsite data because it ensures that you’ll have a copy of your data no matter what happens. Multiple copies prevent you from losing the only copy of your data. Multiple locations ensure that there is no single point of failure and that your data is safe from disasters such as fires and floods.
Beyond Cloud Sync
Cloud storage services such as OneDrive or Dropbox may seem sufficient, but what if your cloud account is hacked and all data is lost and/or corrupted? Cloud storage still requires a backup to another location to meet the best practice of data backup.
Set and Forget
Automatically backing up data to a remote server is a smart solution because it is automatic. You don’t have to worry about doing it, so it won’t take any additional thought or effort in the future.
Always Recent
Your data will be backed up fairly quickly after you change or add to it, so you’ll always have a recent backup. When you’re moving a drive around on your own, you may be stuck with a backup a few weeks old if you lose your primary, onsite backup.
