Store two (2) backup copies on different storage media. Back up to other public clouds – The Altaro Offsite Server, provided at no cost, can be installed on a VM in any cloud platform such as Google Storage, to act as a backup server in the cloud. The 3-2-1 backup rule refers to a tried-and-tested approach to data retention and storage: Keep at least three (3) copies of data.
Offsite Altaro Backup Server via Internet/WAN.All three components of the rule are based on the principle of resilience through data storage redundancy. Internal hard drives (recommended only for evaluation purposes) So, the 321 rule reads that in order to ensure secure data storage it is required to have at least the following: THREE backups, which have to be saved on TWO different pieces of media, and ONE of the backups should be kept offsite.USB external drives and flash drives eSata external drives.Altaro also provides direct offsite backups to Azure by supporting Microsoft Azure Cloud Storage, and direct integration with Amazon S3 and Wasabi cloud storage. You can configure multiple offsite copies and store a fourth copy of your data on yet another site or cloud storage benefitting from direct integration to MS Azure, Amazon S3 and Wasabi cloud storage.Īltaro VM Backup facilitates standard 3-2-1 backup – and adds to it (hence: 3-2-1+) – by supporting multiple backup media types, and by supporting offsite backups over WAN, Internet, LAN and a local connection. This is where most others stop, but safe is never safe enough, and we take this very seriously: This is why Altaro VM Backup adds that plus. You can choose to store your offsite copies using drive-swapping, or directly on Cloud Storage, or alternatively to an Altaro Offsite Server on a secondary site. That's where the third, offsite copy comes in: As long as this offsite copy is synced regularly – and therefore contains up-to-date copies of your data – your risks of data loss are greatly reduced should anything at all happen to all your onsite copies. However, what if something goes wrong that affects both production data and primary backup data copies of your onsite data such as fire, flooding or even theft? Use different storage types for both data sets – for example, store one on an internal hard disk drive and another on a different storage device or server, such as an external hard disk or flash drive, NAS device, file server network share and so on. It is important to always have an onsite copy of your primary data on another medium or device as if there is a failure on one of the devices, then the other is easily accessible with all the data intact.
