Why Your Business Should Take Data Backup and Recovery Seriously
The idea of recovering 100% of your data after a breach is a big illusion, you don’t know when you will be getting such problems and that also depends on how often you make backup of your data – yes, I am talking about businesses that do not back up their data quite often, would you believe us when we say that most of them just do it once a year?
Yes, only once a year and it sounds like a total nightmare.
A small system failure can cause a loss of data for every business, especially for those that don’t have a dedicated team to look through the organization’s data with the best solution practices.
Types of Backup Methods
Full Backup
All data is cloned and stored in a new location – it is the most comprehensive process as it backs up all selected files and folders, though it requires more space and takes longer to do. But this type of backup method makes retrieving faster than any other backup methods.
Incremental Backup
Incremental backup replicates only changes to data since the last backup, whether it was a full, partial or incremental. It is a faster method of data backup and requires less storage but file restoration is slower not to mention the possibility of incremental data becoming corrupt which can prevent complete file restoration.
Differential Backup
It records all changes between the current data and the last full backup which is a compromise between a full backup and incremental backup, this type of backup method requires less storage space than full backups without the exposure of an incremental backup.
Backup Providers
Data is the lifeline of every company, and the team that you entrust to do these backups is also an important part of it which is why you have to choose the right one.
There are things you have to consider when choosing the right company.
1. The price of the data backup work, are there offers that include the best solutions for the company.
2. If the company has the certifications to handle your data when your business gets to be a subject of industry-specific regulations.
3. If your data will be secured in transit and at rest (encrypted or otherwise protected) .
4. If the company can provide 24/7 coverage of the support we require.
