Data backup
Data backup is a procedure that protects a system against the effects of data loss or corruption. It involves duplicating protected data — hence the term "backup copy." The copies are stored on separate storage media, so they are not accessible to users of the original versions. Engagements are available starting from 1 TB of storage.

Questions and answers
Key questions about data backup
What exactly is data backup and what is it for?
A backup is a duplicate of files, systems or an entire IT infrastructure, created to protect data against loss. It lets you restore everything that was saved in the event of a system failure, user error, hardware damage or a hacker attack. A backup can include company documents, databases, device configurations and email archives.
Why should every company back up its data regularly?
Backups are the best protection against unforeseen events such as fires, theft or power outages that can permanently destroy data. Backups are also crucial in fighting ransomware, as they let you recover encrypted files without having to negotiate with cybercriminals. They also ensure business continuity, cutting post-failure downtime from weeks to just a few hours.
What is the 3-2-1 rule in data security?
The 3-2-1 rule is a proven standard: keep three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with at least one copy stored off-site. Storing data in different locations (e.g. in the cloud) protects against local disasters such as flooding or a fire in the main server room.
What are the main types of backup and how do they differ?
There are three basic types of backup:
How often should a company back up its data?
Frequency should match the importance of the data and how often it changes. We recommend daily backups of operational data (e.g. invoices and orders), weekly backups of archival data and periodic full backups (e.g. once a month). For critical databases that change constantly, backups can be taken several times a day.
What are the benefits of storing backups in the cloud (online)?
Cloud backup (e.g. a BaaS service) saves time and money by eliminating the need to invest in your own expensive hardware. It provides easy access to data from anywhere in the world and a high level of security thanks to advanced encryption (e.g. AES-256) and geographically distributed servers. The process is often fully automated, minimizing the risk of human error.
