Whether a Ransomware attack, hardware failure or human Mistake – who has no working backup in case of an emergency prior to the Nothing, and the Jawnet IT Services LTD, we know from many years of practice on how to prevent it.
Loss of data, companies usually when you are least well equipped to deal. Missing or insufficient Backup strategies can transform an avoidable incident in an existential crisis. Professional data backup is not a question of the size of the company, but a question of responsibility. Alexander Jawinski, owner of the Jawnet IT Services LTDand his Team help companies in the process of robust Backup and Recovery concepts to build, in the case of an emergency really work – and not only to be tested, if it is too late.
Data backup is one of the topics that will be pushed day-to-day business on the long Bank – until it comes to a case. Then, every Minute counts. The Jawnet IT Services LTD integrated Backup and Recovery solutions, as an integral part of your IT support and ensures that business can be prepared in the event of a crisis quickly and completely. The offer includes both the technical implementation as well as strategic advice: What data must be backed up? Where are Backups stored? And how long of a recovery in the serious case, really take? These questions Jawnet IT Services answered, together with its customers – before the serious event.
Why data loss is more expensive than most companies think
Many underestimate what a serious loss of data actually costs. It’s not just the lost files itself – it comes to downtime, recovery costs, potential penalties, and in the worst case, to permanent loss of customer trust. Studies show that a significant part of the companies that suffer a serious data loss, can withstand this for the long term.
The causes for data loss are more diverse than commonly assumed. Ransomware attacks are regularly in the headlines, but in practice, it is often the mundane events that cause the most damage: a defective hard drive, accidentally deleted folder, there is a water damage in the server room or a failed Software Update. None of these scenarios are extraordinary – and none of them is with a well-thought-out Backup strategy to be a Problem.
What happens if a company doesn’t have a working Backup?
Without a working Backup any means a serious loss of data restart – in the literal sense. Customer data, contracts, accounting documents, E-Mail history: What has been built up over the years can be lost within hours irretrievably. Alexander Jawinski, owner of the Jawnet IT Services LTD, has seen in his practice, as companies were after such incidents a week, with the reconstruction of data with enormous human and financial cost that would have been by means of a simple Backup solution completely preventable.
The three pillars of a solid Backup strategy
A working backup is not based on a single Tool or a single solution. It is the result of a thought-out strategy that combines multiple levels with each other. The Jawnet IT Services LTD recommends that customers, in principle, an approach based on three pillars build: regular backup intervals, geographical distribution of Backups and regular recovery tests.
Alexander Jawinski emphasized in his consulting work, a Backup that has never been tested, is not a real Backup. It is only the hope for a Backup. Anyone who tries to in case of emergency, for the first Time, his data restore is launched inevitably to problems – lack of access data, incompatible versions, incomplete Backups. These problems can only be developed through regular Tests in the run-up to identify and fix.
On-site and Off-site: Why a Backup is not enough
The classical distinction between On-site and Off-site Backups is one of the most important principles in the data backup. A local Backup on a NAS System, or a tape drive in the server room – enables a quick recovery in the case of smaller incidents. It does not protect against a number of events that affect the entire location: fire, Flood, or burglary can destroy local Backups, as well as the original data.
Off-site Backups, whether in an external data center or in the Cloud, to close this gap. Make sure that even in the case of a complete failure of the primary site, a current copy of company data. The Jawnet IT Services LTD in the Backup schedule, that is consistently a combination of both approaches, and is the solution to the individual requirements and Budget of each client.
The 3-2-1 rule as a proven framework for orientation
In the IT security has established the so-called 3-2-1 rule as a practical Standard: three copies of data, on two different media types, one of which is to an external site. This rule is not a panacea, but it offers a solid starting point for companies that want to build up your Backup strategy in a structured way. Jawnet IT Services, helps to transfer this framework to the specific IT environment and the individual requirements of a company.
Recovery in case of a crisis: speed decides
In the case of an emergency is not only one of whether data has been backed up – it counts how quickly they can be restored. The so-called Recovery Time Objective, short-RTO, describes the maximum period of time must be a System after a failure. The shorter the time, the higher are in General, the requirements for the Backup infrastructure.
The Jawnet IT Services LTD are defined together with their customers, both the RTO and the Recovery Point Objective – that is, the time to go to the data in the worst case lost must. Both of these metrics form the basis for choosing the right Backup solution and the appropriate recovery procedure.
The following factors, the recovery speed significantly affect:
- The nature and extent of the backed-up data, as well as the structure of the Backup solution
- The bandwidth of the Internet connection to the Cloud-based recoveries give you
- Availability of replacement hardware or virtualized environments
- Quality of documentation and access data for Backup systems
- Regularity and timeliness of the recovery performed tests
Alexander Jawinski: data protection is a matter for the boss
Anyone looking at data protection as a purely technical issue, will be done in the IT Department, to underestimate the strategic importance of this topic. Alexander Jawinski see Backup & Recovery as a Central component of the entrepreneurial resilience comparable to an insurance policy that you hope to never need the means, but at the crucial Moment, everything.
The Jawnet IT Services LTD-treated data backup, therefore, not as an Add-on but as an integral part of any IT support. From the initial inventory on the design of the appropriate Backup architecture to the ongoing Monitoring and periodic Test restores, the Team will guide you through the entire process.
The following services are part of the standard scope:
