Backup Solutions

In today's technology, data storage is an important aspect of the IT industry. Backing up, archiving, and having easy access to data (being able to easily access any file at any time) increases the continuity of a company's operations. At V+, our expert team provides solutions to our clients with new technologies in data storage such as faster data transfer in storage and keeping data fields broad and backed up.

Detailed information about backup solutions

The loss of stored data for any reason can cause serious damage to a company's operations. The inability to recover a company's data after a disaster can cause such serious consequences that it can put an end to the company's commercial activities. As the amount of data stored increases every day and data plays a more critical role in corporate processes, not backing up data poses a significant risk.

Therefore, backup systems are installed in corporations, and backup tasks are monitored daily. The installation of a backup system is dependent on parameters such as the amount of data to be backed up, the frequency of backups, the rate of change of backed-up data over time, and the maximum acceptable data loss.

A backup policy that reflects the regulatory and management view of the issue is needed to properly perform data backup according to its purpose. The backup policy should express the importance of backup and what minimum backup measures should be taken for the corporation. A detailed analysis should be carried out to implement the backup policy, and a backup plan should be put in place. The operation of the backup plan and its updating over time to meet the needs of the day will minimize the damage the company will experience in the event of data loss.

Types of data backup

Data backup is divided into three main types: full backup, differential backup, and incremental backup.

Full backup:

Full backup is a type of backup in which a copy of all selected information to be backed up is recorded on the backup media. Since the original data is copied verbatim in full backup, it occupies as much space on the backup media as the original data. This method of operation extends the backup time and makes it difficult to ensure the required backup frequency. It is not always possible to specify all backup tasks as full backups in environments where backup hardware is insufficient, data to be backed up is very large, or data needs to be backed up frequently. On the other hand, full backup is a method that can be used without the need for other backup tasks as it contains the entire original data when there is a need to recover the information. Full backup should be considered as a starting point for all other backup types.

Differential backup:

Differential backup is backing up the changes since the last successful full backup.

Incremental backup:

Incremental backup is a type of backup that only backs up the changes made to the original data since the last backup. In other words, it only backs up the data that has been added or modified since the previous backup, resulting in smaller backup files and faster backup times. However, the restoration process can be more complicated because it requires the restoration of the last full backup and all the subsequent incremental backups. Incremental backups are suitable for environments where data is frequently changing, and the backup window is limited.
