A secure and reliable method of backup data is of utmost importance to any business. There are several options to a company looking for a backup strategy. Several factors determine which type of backup strategy is appropriate for a particular business.
Taking into consideration several factors, a company can decide whether online backup solutions would be more suitable, secure, reliable and cost effective than a portable media backup such as tape.
The reliability of the method of backup is the most important factor to choose the appropriate method. The method should be such that when it is most needed, it is readily available. Data stored in portable media such as pen drives, CDs and floppy discs always run the risk of being lost for various reasons. Therefore a good option is an online backup service where data is encrypted and stored on a remote server.
An ideal method of storage is by using 256 bit encryption method in a secure place, which will prevent any kind of loss of data.
