THE CASE FOR EFFICIENT BACKUPS



imagine losing one or more of your computing hardware devices, disaster putting your facility in disorder, your data or software compromised by some cause. or just a change in supplier or technology and the need to transfer your activity to other systems. whatever it is you will be working overtime. the only question is: for how long. and that depends on your backups

I argue that backup and restore should be easy and fun and flexible enough to deal with changes. if you cannot efficiently juggle your data and systems - forget it, you are not fit

to quickly get insight, try this: develop scenarios such as outlined above and test your system accordingly. do not take anything for granted - test everything yourself and start today

consider yourself expert if you can continue using your data without a big loss of time - on different devices on different operating systems using different software in different locations

only consider yourself ready for the future if you are able to go back in time to handpicked restore points (like before that ransomware attack, or that misguided system upgrade, or that lightning strike) and replay the transactions that happened since the restore point

you will be a master if with everything that could happen you would still be sure that your data was encrypted all the time and there was no breach of confidentiality

and you definitely are a wizzard if on top of all you have an efficient, fast and user friendly solution

nobody likes to spend a lot of time and money on something that may not happen. that is why efficient, fast and user friendly backup procedures matter. if the cost is low it is easier to do the right thing

if making the backups is easy, chances are that restoring from backup is also easy. maybe even so easy that your entire system has become nimble
