A company wants to implement a robust backup strategy to ensure it can recover data quickly from minor incidents like file corruption, while also being protected from a major fire that destroys its office building. Which backup strategy would best meet all of these requirements?
The most comprehensive strategy to protect business data is to use a hybrid approach, storing backups both on-site and off-site. On-site backups allow for quick restoration of data in common scenarios like file corruption or accidental deletion. Off-site backups are crucial for disaster recovery, ensuring data is safe if a catastrophe like a fire or flood destroys the main office and any on-site backups. This combined approach is often formalized as the '3-2-1 rule' and provides the best balance of rapid recovery and resilience against major disasters.
