Do You Have a Plan B If Your Data Is Deleted? Backup and Disaster Recovery Strategies

Do You Have a Plan B If Your Data Is Deleted? Backup and Disaster Recovery Strategies

Imagine coming to the office one morning to find your servers down or all your files encrypted by a Ransomware attack. Sounds like a nightmare, right? Data loss is a risk that should be approached as "when," not "if." As Sistekno, we examine Backup and Disaster Recovery strategies, which are survival kits for businesses.

Difference Between Backup and Disaster Recovery

Backup is making a copy of your data. Disaster Recovery (DR) is the plan of how soon and from which point (RTO/RPO) you can get your systems back up and running in a crisis.

The Golden Rule: 3-2-1 Strategy

We apply the world-standard 3-2-1 rule for secure backup:

1. Keep at least 3 copies of your data.
2. Keep these copies on 2 different media types (e.g., Disk and Tape).
3. Keep 1 copy strictly off-site (or Cloud).

Just taking a backup is not enough; it is necessary to regularly test that these backups are restorable. Sistekno guarantees your business continuity with cloud-based backup and disaster recovery scenarios.
