The 3-2-1 backup strategy attempts to seal potential data loss loopholes by spreading out your backup copies across different storage locations. That means you can recover your system from multiple backup locations.
In essence, you should have at least 3 copies of your data: 2 backed up locally in different devices; and 1 stored in an offsite backup location, such as the cloud.
Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and other services like these are considered cloud storage, not cloud backup. Cloud backup, in contrast, is like building an exact copy of your home so that if your current one burns down, you’ll have another one ready for you. Obviously, the replica home will cost more, but at least you’ll have more than a copy of data-secured stuff should the worst happen.
This varies from user to user, but once a week at minimum is generally considered good practice. Bandwidth-pending, daily is acceptable. If you’re frequently creating and modifying files, you’ll want to run backups more often.
StorX is an absolute privacy protected storage system. The unique architecture ensures that your data is never lying unencrypted as a single file in any storage location. To access your complete data, The hacker will first have to get the decryption password and then have location details and access to all the different servers which store data, This is a near impossible task.
Local backups are usually saved to either a partition on the original computer’s hard drive or to an external hard drive. Cloud backups are saved to secure, remote storage nodes, often with multiple copies in several geographically diverse locations (this is known as “geo-redundancy”). The latter is considered a safer bet because local drives are equally susceptible to hardware/software failure, theft, and loss as the computers they back up.
Local drives need to be physically connected to the computer and the backup is usually run manually. Most cloud backup services are automated and run in the background daily, hourly, or continuously. The initial backup will take longer than a local backup, sometimes up to a week depending on internet speed and amount of data.
Sadly not! RAID and backup are designed to solve different problems. However they are complimentary and work well together. Consider the following:
RAID is designed to protect against the failure of a hard drive and to increase overall performance. For example, you may have two hard drives in a mirror. Both drives have identical copies of your files, so when one fails the other can provide access to you files until the failed drive is replaced.
However if you accidentally corrupt or delete a file, that change will be made to both hard drives in the mirror. You need a recent backup to recover the file in this situation.
