Introduction – Data Backup

In an increasingly digitized world, data backup is vital for the survival of a business. You carry the risk of data loss and data hacks as you are always on the internet. You have the potential to lose your data by theft to your competition. Insider threats can delete your valuable digital wealth. Ransomware threats can cause a huge amount of damage to your data.

Data Backup Includes the Following Important Concepts

Recovery Point Objective

RPO is the amount of data an organization is ready to lose if a disaster strikes. Actually, no one wants to lose any data and therefore the data backup strategy needs to be planned accordingly. A zero data loss scenario would mean online replication. This would help to achieve a near-zero recovery point objective

Recovery Time Objective

RTO is the time that an organization needs to recover its data and be back in production. Organizations need to plan a time frame in which they should be back in production. Robust solutions are required to keep the RTO low.

BackUp Schedule

Copying data out of your systems can impact your production system momentarily. It is therefore important to decide when do you want the backups to start and within what time should they end before they start impacting the system performance.

Retention Policy

Retention policy is the most critical component of backup infrastructure. It becomes even more critical for organizations that are looking for organizations that follow compliance guidelines as retention policy defines for how long you want a particular backup copy to be retained with you. You need to know from the business perspective what their commitment to the data user is on the retention of backups

Online BackUp Data

Online data backup ensures that the data in use or being currently worked upon is getting backed up consistently. Databases need to be backed up online integrating with respective APIs. File backups need to enable services like VSS to be able to back up online.

BackUp Automation

You cannot always copy data manually, especially beyond a particular size. Automation is the key to any backup solution. Deploying flexible data backup software solutions is the key to this. Hardware appliances do not offer the same flexibility. Choose your destination and let the software manage the automated activities.

BackUp Destination

Backup destination matters. For personal use, external drives are fine. Enterprises consider tapes, disks, cloud. Tapes: big but unreliable, management complex. Disks: better, deduplication helps, limits apply, remote retention needs thought. Cloud: reliable, remote, local & compliance copies. Encryption is key. Backup as a Service makes it easy. Public cloud: obey rules, trim storage costs gradually.

Restoration

Restoration is the key component. In fact, restoration is the purpose of backups, so you should; keep your data backup and restore processes handy. Test your data restoration plans as frequently as possible. Ensure a calendared backup restore drill so that when actual data backup recovery is required, you are not testing your processes.

Security & Compliance

Data backup security is crucial. Prevent unauthorized access, even by backup software. Use encrypted backups for top-notch safety. Follow compliance rules for backup processes and storage. Validate solutions against industry guidelines for required standards.

DATA BACKUP INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT CONCEPTS

It is good to keep your data backups close to you. This has been a popular belief justifying the faster recoveries and safety of backups. You would choose to make additional copies to create an offsite data backup.


WHILE THE SOFTWARE HELPS COLLECT THE DATA FROM ENDPOINTS AND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, THE HARDWARE DESTINATION IS EQUALLY CRITICAL. THREE KEY SOLUTION OPTIONS INCLUDE:
  • Tape BackUps:
    • Traditional BackUps:Server connects to a drive, data pushed to removable tape. Tape evolved from 12GB to TBs due to IT adoption and data growth.

  • Disk-Based Appliance BackUps
    • Disks replaced tapes with mirroring, RAID, and improved RPO/RTO. More reliable for backups. Tapes helped off-site transfers. Store recent versions on disks, compliance copies on tapes for off-site.

  • Cloud Based BackUps:
    • Cloud backups for a decade, push to public cloud. Private cloud lacks true cloud nature, needs manual resource setup. Public cloud reduces infrastructure development and upfront costs for backup setup.
