The ONLY way to make a reliable backup?
NOT true, read on for tips….
We all know that backups should be done on a regular basis, but how many of us out there actually do it?
Backups MUST be part of our daily routine. However, it does not help having a backup without ensuring it is reliable and you have the latest copy of your data!
Do not become a statistic, keep your backups off-site to limit downtime in the event of a fire or wholesale theft!
Once you have your backup plan enforced, implement a Disaster Recovery Plan!
Backup Tips:
· Do Regular Backups!
· Use a Reliable Backup media!
· Rotate your backup media if using tapes!
· Test your Backups at regular intervals!
· Keep your Backups Off-Site!
· Do not use “compression”!
· Once “compression” has to be used to backup ALL your data, it is time to get a larger capacity device!
· This gives you a “grace” period to find the budget to purchase the larger device before your capacity is reached.
· ALWAYS “overwrite” data!
· Implement a Disaster Recovery Plan!
Backups should be “tamed”; keep a tight reign on them at ALL times!!
