The Guide to Real Business Backup ☁️
Think you're backed up because your files are on OneDrive? Think again. In IT there's one rule that decides everything: "If you're not backed up twice, you're not backed up at all."
⚠️ The common mistake: sync is not a backup!
Services like Dropbox or Google Drive perform "syncing." That means if you accidentally deleted a file, or ransomware encrypted your computer, the action is reflected immediately in the cloud. The result? Your cloud files are lost too.
🛡️ The Golden Backup Rule: 3-2-1
To build a backup setup that will truly save your business at the critical moment, at Ornet IT we implement the international model:
3 copies of your data: A working copy, and 2 separate backup copies.
2 different storage media: For example, a local office server (NAS) and a remote cloud server.
1 copy offsite: A backup in a different geographic location, in case of fire or theft at the office.
✅ What does a managed backup solution include with us?
Unlike home solutions, the backup we offer businesses includes:
- Image backup: Not just the files are backed up, but the entire operating system. In case of a server crash, it's back up and running within minutes.
- Ransomware protection (Immutable Backup): Backups that can't be deleted or modified, even if a hacker has your password.
- Periodic restore testing: A backup that's never been tested isn't a backup. We verify every month that the data can really be restored.
