Your Options in Backing up Your Server
by Bridget.Giacinto on Dec 3, 2013 10:34:20 AM
In today's fast-paced business world, real-time transactions are imperative. To keep up with the speed of business, your company must have uninterrupted access to a reliable server network that can support all the financial, philosophical, or ideological transactions between your company and its clients and customers. A failure in this network can have catastrophic consequences, as it may be perceived as a sign of unreliability by your business partners, not to mention the risk of losing your valuable data - the lifeblood of any business.
However, we must acknowledge that no server is infallible, and outages are inevitable. The key to maintaining the trust of your clients, customers, and workforce lies in being prepared for such scenarios. Your workforce can be confident in having constant access to the necessary tools for their work, while you can rest easy knowing that your server's performance is guaranteed and your precious business data is fully protected.
Manual Backup vs. Automated Backup
For those who desire more control over their server backups, manual backups can be a viable option. By utilizing backup tools provided by servers or included in operating systems, users can personally witness the backup process, providing them with the reassurance that their data is secure. This hands-on approach allows for a deeper level of involvement and understanding of the backup process.
However, it is important to note that manual backups can be time-consuming and may result in potential gaps in data protection. The frequency at which backups are performed becomes crucial in this case, as the longer the gap between backups, the more data is at risk of being lost in the event of a failure.
To overcome the challenges associated with manual backups, an automated backup system using backup software is worth considering. By implementing an automated program, users can specify the intervals at which server backups should be conducted. This eliminates the need to remember to perform backups manually, as the software takes care of the process automatically.
Automated backup systems provide several advantages over manual backups. Firstly, they save time and effort by eliminating the need for manual intervention. This allows for a more efficient use of resources, as employees can focus on other pressing tasks instead of spending time on manual backups. Additionally, automated backups ensure that backups are performed regularly and consistently, reducing the risk of data loss between backup sessions.
However, it is crucial to find a middle ground between the allure of continuous real-time backup programs and the practicality of network performance, especially when dealing with regularly backed-up large and complex files. This is because such programs, although tempting, have the potential to cause network issues.
