Data Protection solutions (backup)

If there is no data protection solution or it is chosen incorrectly, any company risks losing critical business information, which can no longer be recovered. By default, the company may lose opportunities, customers, money, and time invested in recovery.

In case of a major loss, the company may have to interrupt its activity, which would affect the productivity of its employees.

Having a backup in the company ensures that you can recover much of the lost or corrupted information and that the business will not be affected by a possible device failure.

How often does the backup work?

Depending on the dynamics and the necessity of the information, each company may need less or less frequent updates of the backup. It is possible to calculate the maximum time a company may lose information without affecting the continuity of the services offered.

What kind of backup do you need?

Depending on the storage space and the speed at which information can be retrieved later, the backup process can be done in several ways. Integral - a complete copy of the data is made; Incremental - initially a complete copy is made, after which only changes from the last backup are saved and Differential - the changes from the last full backup are saved.

The environment on which the backup is stored

It must be different from the one on which the data is copied. It is also important that it is a safe, reliable, redundant environment. Data can be stored on magnetic tapes, hard drives, optical storage, or cloud.

When the backup is made

The timing of updating and updating must be chosen so as not to affect system performance. This is usually done at night or on weekends, as the process increases network traffic and consumes system resources.

As far as the software is concerned, Microsoft has its own backup solution for every product it is targeting. There are other software vendors who have developed their own solutions, such as McAfee, Symantec or Acronis. Computers running Linux also have a wide range of backup solutions. There are also backup applications for Vmware virtual machines.

An alternative is to purchase a service from a specialized company, paying only a monthly subscription for a particular storage space. The advantage is that the equipment belongs to the service provider, thus offering much greater security and lower administration costs.

The existence of a backup solution is recommended for every company, regardless of its specificity or size. For data protection and easy access to information in the event of an incident, we recommend that you consult a specialist to help you find the optimal backup solution.
