Data Backup

Data backup is the practice of copying data from a system (personal computer, mobile device, server, NAS drive, etc.) to a secondary location to protect it in case of data loss or corruption. This can involve using external hard drives, server cloud backup, or other backup solutions. Regular data backups are essential for a disaster recovery plan and business continuity, ensuring that critical information can be restored in the event of hardware failure, cyberattacks, or other disruptions. Data loss prevention solutions and automated backup processes ensure regular and consistent backups, reducing the risk of human error. Additionally, organisations should regularly test their backup and recovery processes to ensure that data can be restored quickly and accurately. By implementing effective data backup practices, businesses can protect their valuable information, minimise downtime, and maintain operational resilience.
