The Safest Ways to Back Up and Store Your Data

The impact of data loss can be devastating for a business. Data loss can cost brands millions of dollars and ruin their reputation. That’s why data backup and security are important for every organization.

The Importance of Backing Up Data

Data failure and data loss are extremely common. Unfortunately, this type of issue happens when least expected.

Common causes of data failure include:

  • Hardware or software failure
  • Data corruption
  • Human error such as accidental deletion of data
  • Malicious attacks

A secure data backup solution protects your business from data loss, as it ensures that you can quickly retrieve your data if your primary data storage system fails. This saves you money and helps you maintain your reputation.

The Safest Ways to Back Up and Store Your Data

So, how do you ensure that you won’t suffer in the event of data loss?

Create Regular Backups

The first step in ensuring that you’re safe from data loss is to regularly create backups of your files. Make sure to create these on a separate storage medium and regularly store a backup off site.

Use a Ciphertex SecureNAS®® Solution

12-bay-secure-nas-front-open-data-security-ciphertex-data-storage-california

A network-attached storage system (NAS) is one of the best investments you can make for your business.

This data storage and security system has two big advantages, in that it can:

  • Back up several computers at once.
  • Automatically back up your data.

The SecureNAS solutions from Ciphertex® will give you peace of mind knowing your data is safe.

Encrypt Your Archive

Another way to securely store your data is to encrypt your archive. Encryption makes data inaccessible to unauthorized users, ensuring that your sensitive data cannot be accessed or misused. Secure data archiving solutions, as provided by Ciphertex®, will ensure your data is safe and accessible to you whenever you need it.

Use RAID Protection

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into one or more logical units. A RAID system makes a more reliable data backup and security solution which is less prone to data failure. It also makes it easy to recover data in the event of a disk failure, as the RAID configuration allows you to store your data in different places on multiple drives at the same time.

Store Data in Different Formats

Bearing in mind that technology isn’t flawless, you must always ensure that you back up your data in different formats. For example, you could use a secure cloud solution and encrypted NAS hard drives to store the same data for added security.

Regularly Test Restoration

One mistake many IT departments make is to assume a data backup and recovery solution will automatically work when disaster strikes. Unfortunately, you can’t be certain about that. You must regularly test your data restoration solution to make sure it will work in a real data recovery scenario.

Brooks Ayola Professional Photographer, APA

Ciphertex was able to deliver a very secure and robust portable NAS solution that met the United States Air Forces stringent requirements and everything was accomplished. Not an easy task. The USAF has very high security standards with regards to encryption and the need for a very customizable Portable Storage solution. From initial consultation with the USAF to make sure all of their needs were met, to sending evaluation NAS devices and hosting support calls, there was a very open and good exchange of ideas. Our partnership on this Storage project resulted in a volume order with the USAF and a successful deployment. Thanks very much to you and your staff for always being available for support and your professional courtesy. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to future projects!
