Cloud Data Backup Services

Cloud Data Backup Services

Failure to back up your data regularly puts your business at the risk of costly data loss that you may never recover from. Data loss can happen at any time, given that your company faces various risk factors like human error, hardware damage, and cybercrime. Fortunately, you can protect your business data by having a robust backup plan.

Accelerate IT Solutions provides data backup and disaster recovery services. We ensure that your servers, desktops, laptops, and other data storage devices are backed up to your primary storage server and replicated off-site. For the ultimate strategy in disaster recovery, we also back up and replicate your virtual servers.

Why is Backup and Recovery Essential

Without adequate data backup and recovery solutions, your business is bound to suffer devastating consequences. Backup allows you to create copies of your data that you can fall back on if the primary data source fails. Primary data failures can happen because of hardware or software failure, human errors, malicious attacks, or accidental data deletions.

Data recovery allows you to restore data from an earlier point in time to help with business continuity after an interruption by one of the factors above. For successful recovery, it's essential to store a copy of the data on a different medium, which can be as simple as an external drive or USB stick. However, cloud backup provides the best solution for consistent and reliable backup.

The Importance of Multi-Layer Backups

Having a single backup is not sufficient, and depending on the storage media you choose, it could potentially create a problem for your business. This is why backup solution experts recommend using the 3-2-1 backup rule to make copies of your data.

The approach entails having at least three copies of your data, including the production data. Two of these copies should be on different media, such as an external hard drive and a separate device, like a computer, that you don't use for daily business operations. You should then store one of these two copies in an off-site location where you can easily access it for recovery after a disaster.

However, ensure that these storage media are updated as regularly as possible for the greatest chance of success in data recovery. The strategy is an excellent start for most businesses, one that the United States government recommends. Having a local and off-site backup provides you with more options for data recovery.
