It’s no secret that data is a key asset for any business. It’s also no secret that it can be difficult to protect this asset, and when disaster strikes, the consequences of not having a backup strategy in place are severe.
Data backups are an essential component of every IT professional’s job because they’re responsible for making sure their company has a secure data center in place to safeguard information from loss or corruption.
Finding the right data backup strategy for your company can help you sleep well at night knowing your data is secure.
Backing up isn’t a one-and-done approach. You want as many layers of data backup as you can get. For this reason, the 3-2-1 backup strategy is the gold standard for backing up your data.
The concept is to create three copies of your data on at least two storage solutions, one of which is stored remotely.
West Quay Officers offers you space to secure your data on our servers and disk arrays located at the office. Reachable as a network drive with ultra-high speeds. You can synch your important data while you are working through the day to our server.
Optionally, every night we can synch this data to cloud off-site storage.
This is your original copy on your computer or any mobile device.
You will work on your usual business matters. You can setup Time Machine for Apple computers or Backup and Restore for Windows computers and synch your important files and folders while working through day.
We will provide a network drive that will work at high speed as the server is in our offices. You can synch live with versioning throughout the day, so If you lose data somehow, you can always recover it from our network drive copy.
Optionally, every night, we will send your data to offsite cloud storage for third-party safety. You only need this option in case something happens to your local copy and our office server copy. This refers more to natural disasters.
Team Shared Folders are a powerful file collaboration feature that help centralize your data. Your team gets instant access to the same documents, folders, and files, right from their desktop computers, mobile devices, and the web.
