Data backup and recovery are more critical than ever. Data is the lifeblood of modern business. It powers operations, provides insights, and inspires innovation. Unfortunately, it’s also susceptible to risks. Threats range from hardware malfunctions to cyber incidents like ransomware, human error, or natural disaster. Any of these can disrupt operations, lead to data loss, and cause financial and reputational damage. This is where an effective backup and recovery strategy comes into play.

The Role of Backup and Recovery

Let’s start with the basics. Backup involves creating copies of data and storing them in a secure location to ensure availability in case of unexpected events. Recovery is the process of restoring data from backups to its original state after a data loss event.

Using a 3-2-1 backup strategy helps create airtight security for your data. With such a plan in place, you can benefit from instant recovery and continued productivity in the face of adversity. As part of this strategy:

  • Isolate your recovery environment for added protection
  • Encrypt your data in transit and at rest for extra-robust security
  • Leverage indelible and immutable storage devices for the greatest reliability


Characteristics of Strong Backup and Recovery

Safeguarding critical data assets is non-negotiable. Protect your data from threats and ensure you can restore when needed. As you develop a focused strategy for backup and recovery, focus on elements including:

  • Comprehensive Data Protection: Embrace a holistic approach that addresses many workloads, applications, and environments.
  • Reliable Recovery: Implement fast and reliable recovery options, minimize downtime, and quickly restore critical systems.
  • Scalability: Evolve your environment with support for diverse infrastructure and hybrid, multi-cloud environments.
  • Reduced Complexity: Lower administrative overhead with a unified platform. Streamline your backup and recovery operations.
  • Security: Safeguard against unauthorized access and cyber threats with encryption, authentication, and access controls.
