Back to the cloud, ready?

　　

Cloud for rain, backup first. It is because of the low cost of cloud backup, flexibility and so on, some small and medium enterprises have begun to itch. Even some big companies are ready to use cloud backup to compensate for some of the gaps in their data protection strategies, in the face of tight budgets and staff vacancies. So everyone should know the cloud backup technology itself, but also have a clear understanding of the enterprise's own it situation is suitable for backup to the cloud.

　Cloud Backup: Where is the advantage?

　Scalable, cost-saving

With cloud backup, enterprises can rely on the unlimited scalability of the third party cloud provider without worrying about investment issues. In fact, the side-by-side pay-per-use model reduces the hassle of backup procurement and implementation. This approach allows us to anticipate and manage capacity growth and operational costs.

Efficient and reliable

Cloud providers typically offer state-of-the-art technologies such as disk-based backup, compression, encryption, deduplication, server virtualization, storage virtualization, application-optimized data protection, and more. In addition to the security of certification requirements, most providers provide 7x24 monitoring, management, and reporting, such as a domestic SaaS application: Multi-backup. Companies that could have been unable to afford them.

　　Reduce recovery time for small data volumes

When recovering from tape, the administrator needs to locate the tape, load it, find the location of the data, and then restore the data. Recovering data from the cloud is much faster; it does not require the time to transport tapes, disposals, and searches from tape storage points. Data that needs to be recovered is found and transported over a wide area network (WAN), saving time and eliminating the need to build local tape devices.

　Availability of

Cloud Backup can be attractive to companies that cannot afford a disaster recovery architecture, or can afford it, but realize that outsourcing can improve efficiency and reduce costs. Off-site data replicas can be accessed through any Internet connection or device, adding safety factor in the event of a regional disaster.

　However, cloud backup is not without drawbacks!

Backup data and Full recovery

Depending on the size of the total data, the first full backup and full recovery of the data can be too time-consuming and have a large impact on the production system.

　　Size limit

Based on existing bandwidth resources, each company has a reasonable threshold for the amount of data that can be uploaded to the cloud each day. This restriction can have an impact on the backup strategy.

Termination of Service

It is as important to understand the best "rollout strategy" as it is to review specific features. Metrics to consider include service termination fees, early exit fees, cancellation of service notifications, data retrieval methods, and more.

Cloud Backup: Do you fit?

Companies should correctly evaluate the challenges, their capabilities, and the assets they have, which will help you determine whether a cloud-based backup strategy is better than continuing to rely on full in-house backups. Here are a few things to consider:

Budget

In-house backup and cloud backup you might as well compare: for the tape backup strategy, there are indoor hardware, software maintenance costs, media procurement and storage costs, and for the hybrid cloud service, you have to spend three years of operating expenses.

　The capacity to back up data daily

How much data is needed to be protected (based on total data capacity and daily rate of change)? How often do you need to backup to meet your recovery goals? Calculate how much data you need to transfer on a daily basis, and whether these transfers can be done in the backup window under existing bandwidth conditions.

　Blank areas of data protection

Do you have new instructions to improve data protection in robo or other terminals? Do you have any staff and money budget to invest in these new initiatives? Do you currently have a disaster preparedness (DR) strategy? If so, does your people, programs, and technology allow you to meet your recovery time objectives (RTOS) and recovery point-of-destination (RPOS)? Leverage a cloud backup vendor to expand existing in-house data protection ( It may be more cost-efficient to expand the existing in-house equipment than to pay upfront for the facility and not require additional personnel.

System architecture

Does the current system architecture limit the need for an organization? Is the budget crunch keeping you from keeping up with the technological advances? Are you going to do the technical update anyway?

　　Service level agreements (SLAs) and requirements for legal compliance

Can you complete the data backup within the specified window time? Are you completing the data recovery within the time limits of the agreement? If not, is it because the technology is outdated or because it lacks enough operators? Can you meet company and regulatory requirements under existing personnel, procedures and technologies? Do you maintain an external copy of the device to introduce potential security risks? If your data recovery service level Protocol (SLAS) is more demanding than streaming media data transfer over a WAN link or physical removable disk, cloud-based backup might not be right for you. If you do not have the discipline and the ability to meet legal compliance goals, it is possible to outsource data protection to a vendor that supports legal compliance.

　Level of staff and degree of specialization

Does the current economic environment affect you with enough staff for data protection? Are your current backup/recovery architectures overly dependent on the employees you work for? Do you have in-house experts to properly build and maintain data protection architectures and procedures to meet your present and future goals? Operators are often the most expensive aspect of data protection, so it may be more feasible to introduce data protection capabilities that do not require additional personnel.

With a clear understanding of cloud backup and enterprise status, the next step is to determine the implementation of cloud backup, but choose a reliable cloud service provider. Be careful, the cloud is a good thing, but not every merchant offers a cloud!

So the small series to recommend a bar, the above mentioned multi-backup. We can achieve a high standard of products in terms of cost, safety or timeliness. Again to recommend to everyone before the small series has been tried again, for me this level of it is not high use up without pressure, I believe for the basis of you to use it more handy bar. Multi-backup not only supports database backup, but also supports file backup and local data backup. So it can be said that as long as you have the need for more backup to meet you. and data in the backup process is compressed encryption, and the use of AES256-bit bank-level encryption standard, all encryption operations on your device independently, can be described as end-to-end encryption. After encryption, the multi-backup platform service generates redundant and mutually verifiable blocks of data that are distributed across hundreds of cloud nodes around the world. So, unless the cloud center on half the earth is paralyzed at the same time, the data cannot be lost. At first it felt that the cost of such a large product must be high, but it did not. Each month more backup will be given a certain amount of traffic space, when used up can be done by doing tasks to exchange points and exchange for some features. or through the recharge to exchange traffic, in the charge is also very humane (1 Yuan =1g). Well, the small part of the simple introduction to this bar, interested in the official website to register an account to use it.
