I've been in IT for about 25 years, and as you can imagine, I've Heard some bizarre stories of how computers and servers Were stolen. Laptops stolen back seats of cars (data loss), a colleague left forgotten His laptop on the roof Of His car, problem is when i Realized it was 160 miles down the road (lost data). My friend's office was broken into twice in two nights, the first time Caused the loss of desktop computers and alarm system Completely trashed (data loss), and the second night was to take the server with the backup device and media! Apparently the heavy stuff was stolen the second night, as the thief HAD has more time for the alarm is not repaired Quickly Enough (total loss of data and the company ceased operations Within 8 months).

There are basically only three mechanical parts inside a laptop, or server: 1) hard disk drive backup 2) 3) CD or DVD. Hard drives do not fail and if it did not happen it will. Do not get me wrong, if you take a failed drive to a specialist, who Probably get most of your time back (uff), but expect to pay in excess of 5000 pounds for the pleasure (not dept). Save yourself money, Prevent data loss in the first implementation of a plan for data backup.

The backup solution to CD.

To back up data files on CD is easy, it might be time to do this every night and must be covered up to an hour to put aside to do the job every night. To back up data to a CD-ROM is not an automatic process and we all know people get busy. After HAVING supported your data on CD, please always verify the date That is actually on the CD and then take it home with you. Makes no sense to let it be stolen or destroyed by fire along with the hardware.

Please give us a CD to store data (security documents for a long period), as I do not expect this form of media to remain stable for more than 2 years.
Backup to CD has many limitations, but Certainly it's better than not backing up data at all.

RAID - no backup, but to protect the disks in the server.
All servers Should Be Given every opportunity to stay alive, running a RAID configuration Helps Prevent loss of data to two hard drive failure. If you have 3 drives running in RAID 5 configuration, the server will Tolerate a single disk failure.

The main reason for this is INCREASE Because the price of high-speed Internet connections has-been Significantly Reduced, and Virtually every business house is connected to the Internet through a pipe at least 2 MB so it is now possible to back up large volumes of data to a secure offsite data center.

For me, the best element of an offsite backup solution is not the high levels of encryption security force, the price or replicated with the object infrastructure where your data is stored, but the repute Offsite backup is a solution to Completely automated process. Set and forget, ounces You Set the software to backup data at a Certain Time Each Day you can just forget and let go on with the ITS job of the protecting data.
