Why Bother to Backup your Data?
About 29% of all data loss is caused by an accident, such as an accidental deletion or an accident that compromises data stored on physical hardware. The remaining 69% of data loss is caused by disaster, malware or hardware failure.
It’s estimated that one-third of all computers have malicious software on them, and by the minute, 113 phones or devices are stolen or lost. If this data isn’t backed up, it’s gone and unretrievable. Irreplaceable data such as personal photos, videos, or important documents, are fundamental to our lives in today's digital age.
Ransomware can cause major headaches for those who are unlucky enough to fall victim to it. In a recent study, only 29% of victims were able to restore all their data following an attack. Of these 29%, 50% lost some files, 32% lost a significant portion of files, and 13% lost the entirety of their data.
Backup VS Storage
When trying to safeguard your data, you should understand the difference between backup and storage. While backup protects your data when it's lost or stolen, storage leaves it vulnerable. Secure both locations to safeguard data from breaches.
Think of backup as making copies of content that you may need in the future.
Think of storage as a place where we keep content that we may not be using right now, but might use later.
Most modern SMB's and Enterprises follow a 3-2-1 backup strategy.
The 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
- Three Copies of Data: It is essential to keep a copy of the original data and at least two backups.
- Two Different Storage Types: Both copies of the backed up data should be kept on two separate storage types, such as an internal hard drive and an external hard drive, or a Network Attached Storage device and a cloud storage solution.
- One Copy Offsite: If you store at least one data copy offsite, you will be able to recover lost data in the event of a natural or geographical disaster.
