3 Key Remote Data Backup Practices Any Organization Should Follow

 
Many organizations and users do not back up their data on a regular basis. Either they do not have the time, backup processes are too time consuming, or they simply forget to do so!

Organizations store enormous amounts of data. For example, even a company with a small amount of users can generate many terabytes of content each year—being Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, emails, photos, videos, etc. With so much information and possibly, confidential company records, this data must be stored correctly and protected. This content especially must be backed up for a variety of reasons including: disaster recovery, business continuity, legal and regulatory compliance, theft, and for just general protection practice.

Here are a few tips for the best practices regarding backup and data storage and synchronization. With these 3 key practices that any organization of any size should follow. Individuals users should also pay attention too! For this could help you protect personal records, images, videos, and other content.

1. Protect data

It’s critical to you and your organization to maintain protected data through backing up to either a secondary location or the cloud. Doing so is important to protect against a variety of eventualities including natural disasters and corporate location changes.

2. Encrypt data

It’s essential to have your data encrypted behind the corporate firewall before being sent over the Internet. This ensures that your data is protected in transit and when it reaches its destination.

3. Make backups automatic and continuous

Backups should generally be automatic so that users or admins aren’t required to deal with the backup process. This will make sure that backups are not overlooked or forgotten and can be completed at a known, timely manner.
