Backup and Restore (Disaster Recovery)
There are few things more gut wrenching than discovering that your valuable business or personal data is no more. Unfortunately, one of the few things guaranteed with computer storage is that if it's used long enough, it WILL fail.
Computer storage HAS become much more reliable over the past few decades, but disasters such as theft, fire, flood and accidental damage have not changed for the better
Having a backup of your critical data is essential if you value your data and want to avoid a situation where it is irretrievably lost.
At Tech Whisperers, we can help you to secure your data from accidental or deliberate loss by working with you to identify and develop a plan that suits your risk comfort levels.
Some of the ways that we can assist you in this area include
- Identification of your critical data, including where it is stored and what risks and threats are applicable to it
- Supply and setup manual or automated onsite backup using your own storage devices, free from dependence on any third parties or subscription services
- Setup cloud based synchronisation and backup services such as iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive Dropbox, BackBlaze, Amazon S3 storage and more
- Setup redundant data storage such as RAID and Network Attached storage to provide speed and reliability for onsite servers.
- Identify and mitigate a wide range of scenarios that could affect the ability to retrieve data or continue business operations
- Implement a multi-pronged approach to backup integrity and security. Having your live data and backup in the same room can be a disaster waiting to happen!
- Ensure that your backups are encrypted to prevent data leakage when stored offsite or in the cloud
- Test and confirm that your backups are current and actually usable in the event of being needed
- Monitor automated backup systems to confirm that they continue to run and that any errors encountered are dealt with promptly, BEFORE it becomes a critical issue
