Data Backup and Recovery

We help small and mid-sized Kiwi businesses protect their mission-critical data. Develop resilience and maintain business continuity with our data backup and disaster recovery solutions.

Your data is exposed to unprecedented risks.

Whether your data is stored on-premises or in the cloud, protecting it from evolving cyber threats is vital to maintaining business continuity.

Data loss can result from various sources, which include:

Cyber attacks

Ransomware is a significant security threat, leading to financial losses, trust erosion, and even business failure.

Natural disasters

While cloud storage offers some safeguards, data centres can still be vulnerable to natural disasters. Implementing a disaster recovery plan is crucial for data restoration and maintaining service availability.

Human error

Human error is a leading cause of permanent data loss. Accidental data deletion and unplanned power outages can disrupt your operations.

The problem is handling data backups and recovery in-house can be costly and resource-intensive. Some of the challenges you could be facing include:

Lack of a recovery strategy

Without an effective recovery strategy, your efforts to back up data and maintain their recoverability won’t turn into tangible results.

Lack of proactive management

It’s vital your backups are checked regularly to ensure they are error free. Regular recovery also ensures there will be no problems when you need to recover. Without proactive management these things can slip between the cracks.

Increasing tech costs

Implementing disaster recovery solutions can be costly – not only to set-up but also to cope with ever expanding storage requirements and the subsequent need to keep investing in storage space.

Lacking cyber security

Protecting your backups is just as important as protecting your production site. Without proactive threat detection and security measures, your data remains at risk.

Data Backup and Recovery FAQs

What are the backup procedures?

The backup procedures involve making a copy of your data at the production site, and then moving this copy to a secondary backup site, typically a remote one. The recovery site must be easily accessible in case of disaster.

Setting up a cloud backup encompasses:

Subscribing to a cloud backup service
Getting things ready (software installation, plan customisation, etc)
Choosing the data that needs to be backed up and the backup frequency

What are the procedures for disaster recovery?

Disaster recovery typically comprises the following steps:

Gathering a DR team
Setting objectives
Collecting information and assessing the status quo
Creating a risk assessment plan
Testing and documentation

What are the three basic methods of backup and recovery?

There are 3 different backup and recovery methods. These include:

Complete Backup: The complete backup method creates a backup for your entire product site.
Incremental backup: Incremental backups only create new backups of the files that were modified after the latest backup was created.
Differential backup: In a differential backup, only the files that were changed are copied.

What is backup and recovery in a data warehouse?

Backup and recovery is the process of creating copies of your data, called backups, and transferring these backups to an off-site location that can be accessed and recovered in case of a disaster.

Data backup and recovery are essential for maintaining business continuity, minimising downtime, avoiding hefty revenue losses, and boasting a solid business reputation.

What is the 3-2-1 rule of backups?

The 3-2-1 rule of backups is a widely recommended strategy for data backup and recovery. It provides a simple and effective framework to ensure data redundancy and resilience against various types of data loss scenarios.

The rule is as follows:

3 Copies of Your Data: Maintain at least three copies of your data. This means having the original data plus two additional copies. These copies can be stored on different storage media or in different locations.
2 Different Storage Types: Store the copies of your data on at least two different types of storage media.
1 Offsite Backup: Keep at least one copy of your data offsite or in a remote location. This provides protection against localized events such as theft, fire, or natural disasters that could affect all copies of your data stored in a single location.

Following the 3-2-1 rule helps ensure redundancy, diversity, and geographic separation of backups, reducing the risk of data loss due to hardware failure, human error, cyber attacks, or catastrophic events. It’s a straightforward yet effective guideline for building robust backup and recovery strategies for both individuals and businesses.
