The Backup Challenge
Every small business owner knows they should be backing up the data that they depend on to operate. However, implementing a backup solution is not that simple, even for organizations with very large budgets. Typical mistakes include:
- Failing to identify important data for backup. It's common for an organization to only realize what data is missing from a backup only after a failure occurs. TwoCell works with you to take a comprehensive approach to data backup in order to ensure that all your mission critical data is backed up.
- The backup format is inaccessable after failure. One example of this kind of backup failure is when a tape backup device is used on a server and the server's hard drive fails. The backups are inaccessable, that is until Windows is reinstalled and the tape device software and drivers are reinstalled. TwoCell uses open/standard backup formats to ensure that your backup is accessable at all times.
- The backup data is kept near the original data. Many disasters endanger the onsite backup data. Fire, water and electrical can destroy your backups as well as your original data. TwoCell recommends redundant backups, both onsite and off.
- The backup is not monitored. Setting up a good backup is only the first step. Every backup will eventaully fail. Be it human error, a software or hardware failure it's gauranteed that one day your backup will fail. TwoCell monitors your backups daily, and you recieve an email report of the status.
- The backup strategy is flawed. The classic example is when a backup is made nightly that overwrites the previous nights. A virus or disk error mangles a file on the server. The backup software copies the file to the backup overwriting the good one. This backup is useless! A typical TwoCell server backup provides cascading granularity to make sure our backups are never useless. Every hour a backup is performed and backups are kept for 24 hours. Daily, weekly and monthly archives make sure you can always get the version of the file that you need.
It’s no secret you should be backing up your files. We understand it can be a cumbersome chore. What software do you use? How often do you run it? What's the deal with switching out these tapes again?
