What is a Data Backup? Do You Know Where Your Backups Are?

It’s 2020. We are in the middle of a global pandemic. It’s also Hurricane Season. The World is in a state of unease.

Do you know where your backups are?

No matter what the time of year is, it’s always the season for backups. However, given how tumultuous this year has been, ensuring that your business has properly maintained data backups that are easily retrievable is more crucial than ever.

Everyone at neoRhino IT Solutions believes that Data Backups are the reserves that every business needs to stay afloat should life take an unexpected turn. For the month of September, we will be going in-depth on the importance of having data backups, but let’s start with something simple.

What is a true data backup?

A true data backup is not just an item, but a process. It is the act of copying of your company data to a secondary reserve in case of loss, theft, or corruption. With the combination of natural disasters, hardware failures, and human error, the reality is that data loss is only a matter of when, not if. Having a well-built and constantly maintained data backup process for your business is a necessity in today's technology-focused age.

What is your data backup strategy? What are the tools you need? How often is your data backed up?

These are all questions that will be answered this month and we will also be covering:

  • Defining the three types of data backups and which is best for your business
  • Explain what the costs are for having data backups (including Disaster Recovery Planning)
  • Cover some of the Do’s and Don’ts of Having Data Backups.

Even if it’s a sunny day, things could change in an instant. Always be prepared because your business deserves it.
