Haven't you backed up EVERYTHING yet?

One of the worst nightmares for any business owner is having one of their devices stop working and need replacing, incurring an unexpected expense. Or worse, having a virus infect one (or all) of their devices, rendering them unusable.

But if, in addition, those devices stored important information about the company or the daily work of the employees… disaster guaranteed!

To avoid greater problems, from Apen We recommend that you follow our recommendations and make backups urgently, RIGHT NOW!

Make 3 copies of your data

We need to create 3 backups of our sensitive data, ideally daily. By 3 copies we mean having the original file plus 2 backups. Just 1 copy is not enough, because, statistically speaking, more copies mean less chance of losing your files.

On 2 different supports

It is very important to store the copies in 2 different supports (local disk, network disk, USB, SD card, CD, DVD, and/or other media) since each medium has its advantages and disadvantages. If we have the 3 copies on two identical media, it's possible that, in case of failure, the same malfunction will affect both devices equally.
To avoid this, the rule 3-2-1 It is recommended to keep copies of your data on at least two different media: for example, a hard drive and a DVD. This will minimize risks.

Keep 1 backup copy off-site

Physical separation of the data is essential; this is technically known as an offsite backup. Store the third copy in outside the company It is a very important measure to prevent all data from being lost in case of theft, fire or any other catastrophe.
In this sense, a very practical alternative is to store the third copy in the cloud.
