The data stored on a company’s computer systems is normally considered to be one of its most important assets. Data lost due to system failure, accidental deletion, fire, theft, virus infection or ransom attack can have disastrous consequences.
Establishing a robust, documented plan detailing how systems can be restored in the even of different disaster scenarios allows systems to be restored to normal operation in a timely manor. It is essential to have backups available and ensure recent copies are available when needed.
A robust backup strategy guarantees that data can be recovered days, weeks, or even months later. In a client/server setup, all data must be saved on the servers to ensure it’s captured in the backups. To safeguard against incidents like office fires, backup media must be kept offsite. Cloud-based or online backup solutions facilitate offsite storage, eliminating the need for staff to manually transport media offsite.
Cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365 rely on ‘Shared Responsibility’ where the vendor is responsible for the infrastructure but provide limited restore options. It is important to have a backup solution in place to protect against for data that is accidentally deleted, overwritten or malicious actions in the event of a security breach or disgruntled employee.
