Backup Solution Dilemma: Will You Choose Reliable Storing or Easy Recovering
Are you a lucky dog?
Regarding the issue of hard drive safety, this would mean you have never before experienced a data disappearance causing your critical files, folders, or even a group of HDDs going to nowhere. This signifies you are that 1 of 5 computer person. Luck is something you do not wish that much as long as you are ready, some may notice. Use a backup software solution to be your handy file safety, so nothing gets damaged. Now, that is the moment I ask ‘Oh, truly?’
Have you seen those not so fortunate ones, who did see a data case gulping their documents, emails, and a set of hard disk drives? Well, I have. The more I discussed things with them, the more regularly a question came up: there were plenty of users who did really use backup software before the file failure happened. How is this? Does that mean those utilities do not really serve? For the best of my belief, there are tons of nice software apps which back up data pretty good. But this is only the part of the deal. Backing up is not enough as it is to save your data. What you need to get the protection is a disaster recovery strategy.
There is very much fuss around backup that this another piece often gets out of data protection evangelist field. But backing up is not that complicated. Restoring files is when the actual problem comes.
There is an instance. Mr. X is into data security. He has found storage to save his backup there and a program application to perform the saving work. The data are business documents, private correspondence, and various illegal access sensible information. So, Mr. X encrypts those data. After that he applies his smart backup software to save files to the safe place. But here is a thing: he hasn’t backed up the encrypting key.
He may have saved it on a smart card that last one is failed or demolished. Or the encryption key was on a computer meeting the blue screen of death. What are Mr. X’s chances now to restore the backed up and encrypted data? Zero (or less).
Hence, forget the encryption. Let’s say we back stuff up from an NTFS to a FAT 32 hard disk drive. Lots of storage place on this second one, but what the devil, where did a part of a 5 GB data fly? To the area of good fishing (FAT 32 does not permit files to be more than 4 GB).
And those are only a piece of various issues regarding the matter of proper important data recover. So, next time you consider about a backup plan, think about a recovery solution also.
