Data is one of the most important assets for an organisation. Realising that their data is no longer available could be one of the worst nightmares of IT leaders. Data loss can have devastating effects on the business. Hence a robust backup strategy is crucial for any organisation.
By following these best practices, you can be assured that your data will be safe, completely recoverable, and always available.
Defined Folders: Ensure backups target specific folders, and new folders are created as subfolders within the designated backup directory.
Clear Policies: Maintain a clear backup policy with a well-defined retention period, including media and storage locations.
Off-Peak Scheduling: Schedule backups during non-peak hours to avoid disrupting business operations.
Separate Infrastructure: Never store backup files on the same infrastructure that is being backed up.
Mock Restorations: Periodically perform mock restorations to verify the authenticity and integrity of backed-up data.
Automated Alerts: Configure automatic ticketing for backup failures based on a robust alerting mechanism.
Thoroughly review backup policies quarterly. Visit account.yotta.com to check settings.
