Computer backups are designed to secure the data on a company's information system. There are several types of computer backup. Local backup on physical media is currently the School Principal backup method for companies. However, in the event of disaster or theft, this single backup solution is not sufficient. Outsourced backup, located on an external site, is the solution for securing your data in all circumstances.
Avoid data loss with multiple backups
According to a survey by the CPME (Confederation of SMEs) published in 2019, 98% of companies surveyed have at least one backup tool :
- 68% of companies make a backup on a physical medium (USB key, hard disk, etc.),
- 49% via a cloud solution
- 45% on an in-house server
The industrial accident in a Strasbourg data center in 2021 confirms that optimal optimal backup is to keep three copies of your data to avoid data loss, which can be disastrous for your business. This is equivalent to two backups in addition to the School Principal production data.
The local computer backup on physical media is the solution used by most companies. However, the risk of data loss is high, because in the event of theft, fire or flood, these physical media can be destroyed. What's more, this type of backup requires regular renewal of hardware to ensure that your data is always backed up.
The outsourced computer backup ensures reliable backup and secure storage of company data in highly secure highly secure data centers owned by a service provider specialized in IT hosting. This solution guarantees a rapid rapid business recovery in the event of a disaster or cyber-attack. Thanks to the incrementalsystem, the service provider can restore your data up to several days before the loss occurs.
Computer backup: the 3-2-1 rule
Many service providers recommend that you back up your data according to the 3-2-1 rule:
- 3 copies of your data (at least 2 backups in addition to your production data)
- 2 different media (at least 2 different storage media)
- 1 copy off-site: outsourced backup
Backup, the first line of defence against industrial accidents
Ensuring the security of your data at all times
According to the 2019 survey conducted by the CPME, 4 out of 10 companies have already suffered one or more attacks or attempted attacks. Whatever the origin of the data loss (disaster, burglary, cyber attack...), outsourced backup enables you to restore your data quickly and get your business back up and running.
