Evaluate your backup needs

Start by defining what you need to protect and how quickly you need to recover. Ask these questions:

What is the volume of data to be backed up?

How often does your data change (daily, weekly, etc.)?

What should you back up? Files, databases, complete environments, etc.

Do you have regulatory constraints (GDPR, health data, etc.)?

What budget have you allocated to backup?

Business backup: the fundamentals

Types of backups

Data backup is the process of copying and storing digital information so that it can be restored in the event of loss, corruption, or attack. It can take the following different forms:

  • Local backup (on an external hard drive, an internal server for example)
  • Cloud backup (on a remote server) to access data from any device and at any time (provided you have internet access),
  • Disconnected backup from the network to limit any external access that could compromise the backed up data.

Adopt the right level of security

A good enterprise backup solution needs explicit security controls:

Encryption of data at source and in transit,

Disconnecting backups with a software air gap

Applying the 3-2-1-1 model

Oxibox strongly recommends applying the 3-2-1-1 backup method (3 copies of your data, on 2 different media, 1 offline and 1 offsite) to ensure you have at least one copy of the data intact in the event of an incident.

Recovery and business continuity

A good backup solution must be secure and let you restore the right data from the right point in time. Fast, straightforward recovery helps limit the impact of operational downtime.

Why every business needs to protect its data

Faced with the rise of cyber threats and the increasing sophistication of attacks, data backup has become an absolute necessity for all organizations. It helps protect sensitive information, maintain business continuity and preserve the confidentiality of critical data.

Furthermore, regulatory developments require companies to strengthen the level of security of their information systems by adopting appropriate protection strategies. Among these, reliable, resilient backup supports legal obligations and helps preserve data integrity.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The GDPR requires organisations to apply appropriate safeguards for the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data. Data loss can have major consequences, compromising the confidentiality of information, the security of those affected and damaging the reputation of the company.

NIS 2 and DORA regulations: strengthening cybersecurity at European level****

NIS 2 and DORA emphasize the importance of a reliable backup strategy that complies with regulatory requirements. Implementing secure, disconnected and deduplicated backup solutions is essential to protect data, support compliance and build resilience against cyber threats.
