Data Backup & Disaster Recovery

The 3-2-1 backup policy

What it is

The 3-2-1 rule is a simple, widely trusted way to think about backups: three copies of your important data, on two different types of storage, with one copy kept off-site or in the cloud.

Why it matters to your business

Each part guards against a different failure. Multiple copies protect against corruption; different storage types protect against one technology failing; and an off-site copy protects against theft, fire, or a local disaster taking out everything at once.
