Backup strategy

A backup strategy is a plan for copying and storing your important digital data so you can restore it if the original is lost, damaged, or compromised. It involves creating regular copies of files, databases, and system information, and storing them securely in different locations—such as external drives, cloud services, or off-site facilities. This proactive approach ensures business continuity, minimizes data loss, and reduces downtime after unforeseen events like hardware failures, accidents, or cyberattacks. A well-designed backup strategy balances frequency, storage, and security to protect your valuable digital assets effectively.
