Online Backup and Data Backup
All companies face major problems caused by the loss of data whether it be by accident or deliberate vandalism! In addition, information systems, whether computer or paper-based, can always be at serious risk from damage by theft, fire or flood.
Imagine if your computer system was out of action due to any of the above, your business could be adversely affected in a variety of ways including:
- complying with data protection law
- order taking
- losing valuable credit lines because you have not paid your suppliers on time or indeed at all!
- easily prone to fraud
Backups ensure that your business can continue with minimal interruption, even if computer data has been lost. It is essential to have a robust back-up routine, including provision for off-site storage of your data, as part of your IT security policy. You should have regular checks in place to ensure that this is being carried out as prescribed, and that your recovery plan is viable and fully tested.
If you think you have your system covered because you have it all on disk or tape then think again. Do you check that you have :
- swapped tapes or other backup media
- securely stored your backups, away from environmental threats (fire, theft, etc.)
- maintained backup hardware
- remembered to put your cleaning tape in
- checked the life span of your media
- ensured that there is cover for the person with backup responsibility if absent through sickness or holidays
- periodically testing your backups to ensure that your data can be successfully restored
