FBI : 3 false backup ideas
Can your business survive data loss ?
How quickly could you recover?
No business is immune to data loss.
The main causes of data loss:
Human error
- Attack
- Broken hardware
- Logical failure
- Corruption
Here are 3 false notions about backups that you should know:
F.B.I. #1: A backup solution is too expensive; we'll see when we get there.
- Data loss can have a snowball effect, meaning collateral damage can extend beyond finances. In the event of an incident, data loss can cause service interruptions, loss of employee productivity, harm and lasting damage to your reputation, regulatory fines, or penalties leading to medium to long-term revenue losses.
- L’approche aux données de sauvegarde dépend grandement de vos besoins. Ainsi une solution qui peut résister à 5 minutes de pertes de données n’est pas dans la même gamme qu’une solution de sauvegarde quotidienne.
Certainly, data loss typically results in much higher costs than implementing a backup solution.
F.B.I #2 I don't need a backup; I use Google Drive or SharePoint.
- While storing your files online is a good practice, it's not a backup. Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or SharePoint may continuously save your files (auto-save) and allow access to previous versions, but in the event of loss, deletion, or corruption, these features become ineffective.
- To ensure a data loss risk of 0, you need at least 3 copies of your data. This refers to the 3-2-1-0 method: 3 Copies > 2 Media Types > 1 Copy Offline > 0 Errors.
F.B.I #3: I have 3 copies of my data, I'm good
- Not so fast, your backup is only as good as your last restore. It's important to validate that the restoration of backup sets works; otherwise, the backup set is worthless.
- To develop a good restoration strategy, you need to determine the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and the Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
