Data backup: the basic procedure
Creating a data backup is an important strategy for protecting your data. Whether due to defective hardware, a targeted cyberattack or theft, data loss often occurs unexpectedly and at inopportune times. If you want to protect your business or private data in the best possible way, you need regular backups.
In the following, we explain how to back up your data, which aspects you need to pay attention to and which options are available to you for backing up your data.
The importance of data backup
Data loss can occur in a variety of ways: due to technical faults, human error, natural disasters or malicious attacks such as ransomware. Without a reliable backup solution, lost data cannot be restored.
However, regular data backups ensure fast and effective recovery in the event of an emergency and are therefore an essential part of a well-thought-out data strategy. Especially in industries with strict retention policies such as healthcare and finance, backups are a prerequisite for compliance with legal requirements.
