The Importance of a Backup System
In today’s world, where data is the most valuable asset, facing threats such as ransomware, human error, or physical disasters (e.g., fire, flooding) is unavoidable. An effective backup solution is therefore not just an option—it is a mandatory safeguard to ensure that:
• Fast recovery: Data can be restored quickly to minimize system downtime.
• Regulatory compliance: Operations align with security standards (such as ISO 27001) and personal data protection laws (PDPA).
• Rapid data availability: Information can be brought back into operation immediately, reducing service interruption and downtime.
Time To Fly: Data Protection Experts
We design and implement backup systems based on the globally recognized 3-2-1 Backup Rule, providing the highest level of confidence in protecting your data.
What Types of Backup Solutions Are Available?The main backup solutions we provide—and those most commonly used in organizations—can be categorized into three primary types, based on data storage and recovery methods:
1. Local Backup: On-Premises Data Backup
Data copies are stored on internal storage media (such as external HDDs, NAS, or tape drives). This option is ideal for small organizations that require fast recovery times and full control over their data.
2. Remote / Offsite Backup: Off-Premises Data Backup
Data copies are transmitted to the organization’s own data center or a disaster recovery (DR) site. This approach is suitable for organizations that follow the 3-2-1 backup principle, helping protect against physical disasters.
3. Cloud Backup: Cloud-Based Data Backup
Data is backed up to public cloud providers (such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or INET) or through Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) solutions. This option is ideal for organizations of all sizes that need flexibility, reduced hardware investment costs, and the ability to recover data from anywhere.
Backup Types
In addition to storage location options, we offer a variety of backup types to match your required backup frequency and recovery speed:
• Full Backup: Backs up all data every time (requires more storage space, but enables fast recovery).
• Incremental Backup: Backs up only the data that has changed since the most recent full backup (uses less storage, but recovery takes longer).
• Differential Backup: Backs up only the data that has changed since the initial full backup (a balance between storage usage and recovery speed).
• Image-Level Backup: Backs up the entire system—including the operating system (OS), applications, and all data—allowing for fast bare-metal recovery of the whole system.
