1. Data Backups - Your First Step to Safeguard Your Data
2. Things go wrong. Devices fail and are subject to accidents, cyberattacks, theft, loss, fire, and natural disasters. If an unanticipated event occurred that rendered your device unusable or unavailable, what would you lose? The answer is DATA. Maintaining one or more current backups of your valuable data and/or entire system is a critical security layer that can mitigate the risks of data loss. INTRODUCTION
3. BACKUPS Backups are copies of your data and/or system stored on a different device or in the cloud. What should be backed up? How many backups should be maintained? Where should backups be stored? How frequently should backups be done? Should backups be manual, scheduled, or incremental? What tool should be used to create a backup? In this presentation you will get answers of all these questions.
4. WHAT TO BACK UP? If you want to be able to restore a backup to either your failed or an identical system and be able to use it as if nothing bad happened, then you should back up your entire system. If, however, you just want to be able to restore your data to a compatible system, then you should back up your data.
5. NUMBER OF BACKUPS It is recommended to maintain two backups – one conveniently close but still safe and another far enough away not to be compromised by the same threat.
6. WHERE TO STORE YOUR BACKUP? For a backup to be helpful, it must still be usable when the backed-up device is not. That means backups should be stored in a safe place that is physically separated from the backed-up device. There are three ways to accomplish that: 1. Store the backup on an external device, and keep that device where a threat is very unlikely to destroy both the original and copy, 2. Store the backup in the cloud using an online backup service, or 3. Store backups on both.
7. BACKUP FREQUENCY Users have different thresholds of pain regarding loss of work/changes. Can you tolerate a month’s worth; a week; a day; or an hour? Match your backup frequency to your threshold of pain.
8. You can do manual, scheduled, or incremental backups. For manual backups, you decide when you need to initiate a backup with appropriate software. For a scheduled backup, you preconfigure appropriate software with your desired schedule, and the software then initiates backups according to that schedule. Some offerings implement incremental backups, and they wake up periodically and backup only what has changed since the last backup – more efficient BACKUP PROCESS
9. CONCLUSION As you can see, backup plans can be complex. This is not a one-solution- fits-all situation. Clickaway Computer Services would be happy to help you craft and implement a complete backup plan that fits your needs and preferences.
