A regular data backup is essential to prevent data loss caused by hardware defects or user error, as well as to ensure access to business-critical data in case of a ransomware attack.
However, for a data backup to be useful, the recovery process must also be tested regularly, checking recoverability and completeness of the data.
In order to have a backup that is as reliable as possible, it can be useful to follow the “3-2-1 rule”: This involves storing at least 3 copies of the data on at least 2 different types of media (such as hard drives, tape drives or cloud storage solutions), and at least one backup should be stored in a remote location.
Backups should not be overwritable if possible to prevent a ransomware attack on the backup. It is possible to operate a backup solution to which only new backups can be written, but old backups cannot be edited.
With a well-configured firewall, you can detect and prevent unwanted communication attempts within your network.
With an appropriate backup strategy, you are protected against data loss caused by hardware defects, user error or ransomware attacks.
