Book a CallFrequently Asked Questions About Offsite Backup Storage
Offsite backup storage refers to the process of storing a copy of your data backups at a remote server or storage location away from your primary premises. Storing a copy of backup data offsite ensures protection of the data by securing a copy in a secondary location to achieve redundancy. In the event that backups at the primary site are compromised, offsite backups may be used to accomplish recovery.
Offsite backup storage space is used to maintain copies of files and data in the event the primary host goes offline, resulting in disruptions to business continuity. Offsite backup may be achieved by storing data in a variety of media, including public clouds, private cloud, disk and tape.
Offsite backup storage is important in the event of a disaster such as malware, ransomware, hardware or software failure, power outages or natural disaster. When such an incident occurs, you can recover the data by retrieving backups from the cloud or storage media. Offsite backup storage solutions provide a layer of redundancy for your data, improving your chances of a successful recovery in the event of a disaster.
Offsite backup storage is an important piece of an organizations business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy. The historical 3-2-1 backup rule outlines best practices: at least three copies of data, on two different types of media, with one copy stored offsite. These offsite backups are critical to recovering from data disasters that impact the local backups and primary on-premise operations.
In a disaster recovery scenario, offsite backups act as your safety net. They enable you to restore critical business functions and data to resume operations and minimize downtime and data loss. Offsite backups offer several advantages compared to onsite backups, including added security, accessibility and scalability. Depending on where and how they are stored, offsite backups may also help organizations align with regulatory standards.
