A) The Why, What & How of Backing Up

Why Back Up?
• Data is the lifeblood of your company
– Mail, Databases (SQL, Exchange, etc), Records, Invoices, Presentations,
Contracts, etc: everything is ‘data’
• The amount of data created by the average user/company is increasing
exponentially.
• According to the Contingency Planning Research & Strategic Research
Corporation:
– 43% of U.S. companies experiencing disasters never re-open, and 29% close
within 2 years.
– 43% of lost or stolen data is valued at $5 million.
– Most companies value 100MB of data at more than $1million.
• The loss of revenue for each hour of downtime varies from industry to
industry
• What’s YOUR cost of downtime?
Don’t wait to find out!

5. So I Back Up My Servers
and I’m Done, Right?
It’s certainly a start!
But you’re not really done …

Why Back Up PCs?
• Between 40-80% of business critical data resides on the hard
drives of laptops & desktops
– 60-70% of laptops & desktops are never backed up
• These days 50% of computers sold to businesses are laptops
– 10% of laptops are stolen - annually
– 15% of all laptops will suffer some form of hardware damage in a
given year
• 6% of all PCs will suffer a ‘data loss incident’ in a given year
– The average ‘incident’ costs a company $2,557
– Average time to recover lost data = 6 hours (if a person is
employed/available to do it)
• Some small firms don’t have servers, anyway! In these cases,
100% of Business Critical Data is on PCs!

What Should I Back Up?
• Think data: data that is proprietary to you / your company and
cannot be replaced, eg.
– E-Mail, Databases (SQL, Exchange, etc), Customer Records, Invoices
& other Financial Data, Presentations, Collateral, Contracts, Pictures,
Drawings, Your Bookmarks, Your Desktop, Your Appointments,
Contacts, To Do list in Outlook, Files you’ve synchronized from your
cell phone to your PC, Your ‘My Documents’ folder…
• What don’t you need to back up?
– Anything that’s easily replaceable! Installed software, typically your
Operating System and applications – are replaceable! They’re
available on a CD for download, and with the license keys, you can
get them up and running quickly. So you don’t need to spend time,
effort & money backing this up. Maybe it’s a good idea to store all
your license keys in a simple text/xls file and back that up, though 

How Should I Back Up?
For starters, any backup is better than no backup. But if you’re planning to
start off safeguarding your data, you might as well do it right. Typical
options are:
• Back up to removable media (CD/DVD/USB)
– While this might work for really small amounts of data, it is not automatic (relies on
human intervention). Typically, you take a full backup each time (not just the
changes), and most importantly, the data is still on-site. In case of a disaster, your
backups are of little help!
• Back up to tape
– Enough has been written about the pitfalls of tape backups – from people running
into burning buildings to recover tapes they never bothered sending offsite to stolen
tapes with credit card details to tape deterioration that was discovered when a
customer needed to restore his data. Besides, tape restores are cumbersome and
require sys admin intervention even if all you want is to restore a single file before
that meeting in the afternoon.
The best option, really, is backing up ‘Disk to Disk (D2D)’…

How Should I Back Up?
• Back up to an on-site machine (backup server)
– Certainly an improvement! As long as you have the right software, you
should be able to backup automatically, incrementally and securely, and
restore painlessly and quickly. But bear in mind that your data is still ‘on-
site’. In case of a natural disaster / calamity / theft / vandalism, that’s of
no help unless you’re replicating your data to a remote server…
• Back up to a remote server (online backup)
– The safest of the lot since your data is off-site and there is a online
backup service provider focused on facilitating your backup & restore
operations.
There are a few things you should look for in an online
backup solution…

Backup Solution?

Checklist: ‘Must Haves’ from
an Online Backup Solution
1. Ease of Use
We can’t emphasize enough about how
important this is. Considering the fact that
backups are not the most pleasant of tasks
one wants to (but needs to) do, the easier
it is to do it, the better. An intuitive, user
friendly user interface goes a long way
towards better backup habits!
2. Flexibility
Your IT environment is unique to you. The
last thing you need is a ‘backup service’
that places demands for additional
infrastructure. Or for that matter, one that
only works on one OS / application. Look
for something comprehensive that works
with your existing resources!
3. Automated
Lets face it – no one remembers to back
up. Look for a solution that, once
configured, can indefinitely run by itself as
per a pre determined schedule and
settings. Ideally, you should be able to
backup different sets of data differently -
continuously, daily, weekly, etc.
4. Transparent
A backup solution that’s easy to use,
flexible and automated doesn’t help much if
it ‘hogs’ your computer while backing up!
The ideal backup solution runs quietly in
the background and periodically assures
you that everything is under control.

5. Secure
That’s YOUR data you’re backing up – over
the internet. Its very important to ensure
that the data is encrypted before it leaves
your computers. Make sure that the
encryption algorithm is powerful and
supports higher ‘bit’ keys for added
security.
6. Incremental Backups
With a good incremental backup solution,
once you’ve completed the first (large)
backup, the ideal solution will monitor your
data for changes and back up only the
changed parts saving you bandwidth (time
& money). A must have feature!
7. Compression
While on the subject of conserving
bandwidth, it is important to compress your
data optimally so that you can reduce the
bandwidth/ time/money spent in sending
data to the remote server. Look out for
configurable compression where you choose
what works best for you!
8. Restore
A backup solution is only as good as its
ability to restore data – after all that’s what
it is for in the first place! Besides ‘ease of
restore’, the ability to restore a single file if
required, deleted files and older versions of
files is important.

9. Infrastructure
Make sure you know more about where
your data is being backed up. How
protected is the remote server itself, and
where it is hosted? Is the server itself
backed up / replicated? A good service
provider should be comfortable telling you
all this!
10. Pricing / Support
If you’ve taken care of all the items
mentioned so far, you shouldn’t be having
many support issues. But it is good to know
that help is available if & when needed.
And of course, pricing – flexible &
reasonable monthly / annual plans based
on your data requirements are key!
