Why the 3-2-1 Backup Rule is the Best Route to Take

Backup_721992451_400

You've probably seen a lot of posts about data backup and disaster recovery, and that's because it's super important for any business. Today, let's talk about the 3-2-1 rule and how it can keep your business safe when things go wrong.

What’s the 3-2-1 Rule?

The 3-2-1 rule is a simple way to make sure your data is safe. Here’s how it works:

  • Three copies – Have three versions of your data, including the original.
  • Two types of storage – Use at least two different types of storage (like one copy in the cloud and another on your computer’s network).
  • One copy stored elsewhere – Keep one copy somewhere else, like a cloud service or a data center, so it’s safe even if something happens locally.

The 3-2-1 rule is just the starting point for good data backup, but it’s a minimum. You can make adjustments to better fit what your business needs, choosing different storage places or adding security to protect your data.

Why the 3-2-1 Rule Matters

Every business, no matter what they do or where they are, should follow the 3-2-1 rule to keep their data safe and accessible. For example, if something goes wrong with your office system, you can get a backup from the cloud, and if your cloud fails, you still have a copy at the office. Plus, testing your backups regularly is key to being prepared for threats like ransomware.
