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.
Safe & reliable
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.
