WHY DATA BACKUP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT?
28 Apr 2020
Technology, as we all know, will never stop developing in the world. Many of us have begun the journey to digitize our entire life, especially our business life, as technology improves. The smartphones we use today record our daily step counts, heart rate, photos we take, websites, messages etc.… our data. Recorded data is usually made to backup data through cloud solutions. If you think this data is somehow lost ...
Perhaps the lost data will give you not material or moral damage. But…
If we think that any data of our company in our business life has been lost; Have we ever thought about what harm this would bring? Commercial data, though indirectly, constitutes many areas of our working life. We record many important data such as personnel and payroll data, accounting records, production data, sales and marketing data, e-mails in our daily business life.
Any loss of any of these will cause serious material damage.
For example;
Serious penalties arising from the deletion of accounting records…
rade ceases due to deletion of production data and material losses ...
Let us list the reasons why the data backup process is so important for the following reasons.
- To prevent our data from being lost as a result of Crypto attacks or natural disasters,
- In order for the data not to be lost as a result of malfunctions that may occur in the systems,
- In order not to experience losses as a result of interruptions in the machines,
- To comply with laws and regulations,
- To have a sustainable working environment 24/7,
Data backup is now a must-have gold rule in our business life. By using the 3-2-1 data backup system, we can make our data more secure.
Of course, while backing up data, it is necessary to complete the work in a planned manner, taking into account all disaster scenarios.
A data backup plan should be created at 3 different points as local data backup, cloud data backup and outsourced data backup.
While businesses focus on running their existing business, avoiding the cost of data backup investment, they may lose millions of dollars after events that may occur, such as technical disruption, cyber attack, crypto attack or ransomware attacks. Past events should set an example.
We should never forget that; While even the most meticulously equipped systems and software in the world can fail, we should not escape from the data backup investment by relying on the investments made on the main systems.
Our suggestion is to take precautions about data backup without major damages.
