Backing up your data
The most frequently asked questions when choosing a backup solution
Selecting the right backup system is essential to ensure that your data remains secure and can be quickly restored in the event of data loss. To help you make an informed decision, you should consider the following key questions:
-
What exactly do you need to back up?
Identify which data, systems, and applications require protection. This may include files, folders, databases, operating systems, and more.
-
How frequently should backups be performed?
Determine the optimal backup schedule to ensure your data is always up to date and protected against loss.

Is the backup solution compatible with your existing systems?
Verify that the backup software integrates seamlessly with your current IT infrastructure and applications.
-
How long should backups be retained?
Define a clear retention policy. Consider how long backups must be stored to comply with legal and business requirements.

Where should backups be stored?
Decide whether to use local storage, offsite solutions, or a hybrid approach. The storage location directly impacts redundancy and resilience.

Which backup method best suits your needs?
Evaluate different backup types—such as full, differential, and incremental backups—and select the method that aligns with your requirements.

How quickly must data be restored?
Consider your recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs). The criticality of your data will determine how fast restoration needs to occur.
