Quarter 3- Module 1
DATA BACKUP

Learning Outcome(s):
At the end of the lesson, the learner will be able to
1. Understand the Data Backup
2. Give importance to Data Backup

In an increasingly digitized business landscape, data backup is vital for the survival of an organization. You can get
hacked or ransomed, and lose your data to thieves who’ll sell your trade secrets to the highest bidder. Injected malware can
corrupt your hard-earned information. Disgruntled employees or other insider threats can delete your valuable digital assets.
Can you recover from data loss?

Data backup is a practice that combines techniques and solutions for efficient and cost-effective backup. Your data is
copied to one or more locations, at pre-determined frequencies, and at different capacities. You can set up a flexible data
backup operation, using your own architecture, or make use of available Backup as a Service (BaaS) solutions, mixing them
up with local storage. Today, there are plenty of corporate storage TCO solutions to help you calculate costs, avoid data
loss, and prevent data breaches.

What Is a Data Backup?

Data backup is the practice of copying data from a primary to a secondary location, to protect it in case of a disaster,
accident or malicious action. Data is the lifeblood of modern organizations, and losing data can cause massive damage and
disrupt business operations. This is why backing up your data is critical for all businesses, large and small.

What does backup data mean?

Typically, backup data means all necessary data for the workloads your server is running. This can include documents,
media files, configuration files, machine images, operating systems, and registry files. Essentially, any data that you want to
preserve can be stored as backup data.

Types of Data Backup


1. Full Backup: Copies all data every time. It's comprehensive but time-consuming.
2. Incremental Backup: Only backs up data that has changed since the last backup. It's faster and uses less storage.
3. Differential Backup: Backs up data changed since the last full backup. It's a balance between full and incremental
backups.

Data backup includes several important concepts:

 Backup solutions and tools—while it is possible to back up data manually, to ensure systems are backed up
regularly and consistently, most organizations use a technology solution to back up their data.
 Backup administrator—every organization should designate an employee responsible for backups. That
employee should ensure backup systems are set up correctly, test them periodically and ensure that critical data is actually
backed up.
 Backup scope and schedule—an organization must decide on a backup policy, specifying which files and
systems are important enough to be backed up, and how frequently data should be backed up.
 Recovery Point Objective (RPO)—RPO is the amount of data an organization is willing to lose if a disaster occurs,
and is determined by the frequency of backup. If systems are backed up once per day, the RPO is 24 hours. The lower the
RPO, the more data storage, compute and network resources are required to achieve frequent backups.
 Recovery Time Objective (RTO)—RTO is the time it takes for an organization to restore data or systems from
backup and resume normal operations. For large data volumes and/or backups stored off-premises, copying data and
restoring systems can take time, and robust technical solutions are needed to ensure a low RTO.
Backup Methods
1. External Drives: Using USB drives or external hard drives for physical backups.
2. Cloud Storage: Services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive for online backups.
3. Network Attached Storage (NAS): A dedicated device for storing and accessing backups over a network.

Best Practices for Data Backup


1. Regular Schedule: Set a regular backup schedule to ensure data is consistently protected.
2. Multiple Locations: Store backups in different locations to prevent loss from physical damage or theft.
3. Encryption: Use encryption to protect sensitive data in backups.
