Data Backup and Recovery: Definition, Ways, Benefits, and Types

Data is a very important asset that needs to be protected and absolutely created a system to protect it from potential errors, leaks, loss, even when natural disasters occur. For this reason, data backup efforts are needed to maintain the good name and credibility of the business as well as data recovery efforts when needed by those who need them.

Data backup and recovery is one of the most important factors for success in business. It is important for businesses to plan and implement a data backup system before something bad happens.

Successful data backup systems use offsite servers or separate drives to store most of the sensitive data. Without doing this, data recovery is difficult so that the data is lost. So, what exactly is data backup and recovery, and why is it important to do it?

What is Data Backup and Recovery?

Data backup and recovery is the process of making copies of data in an effort to prevent loss and prepare a secure system so that data can later be recovered. Data backup requires copying and archiving computer data so that it can be accessed in the event of damage or data being deleted.

The backup process is carried out before data damage or loss occurs due to human error or disaster. While the process of recovering or recovering data can be done if the data is deleted, even for data that is no longer in the recycle bin. That way, you can only recover data from the last time you did a data backup.

However, keep in mind that backups may not always restore all system data and settings. For example, computer clusters, database servers, or directory servers may require additional recovery efforts because backup and recovery may not fully restore them to their original state.

Why Need Data Backup and Recovery?

1. All Vulnerable Targets of Data Theft

Whoever and whatever your business is is not a guarantee not to be the target of data theft threats because hackers don’t choose their targets. Hackers have a number of reasons, ranging from targeting sensitive data, revenge, asking for ransoms, or just wanting to show their existence.

2. Lost Data For Various Reasons

Businesses can lose data due to human error (human error), device damage, to natural disasters.

3. Not All Data Can Be Restored

It is undeniable that there is some business data that cannot be recovered once it is lost.

4. Downtime Hurts Business

When data is lost, business operations stop for an uncertain time. Employees find it difficult to work because customer data or business applications cannot be opened.

5. Reputation Threatened

Business operations that stop due to data loss will affect business reputation and potentially reduce customer trust.

How to Perform Data Recovery

To recover data that has been lost or infected with a virus, you can take the following steps:

  • Click the start button then on the system select recovery settings.
  • Click the next button on the system recovery menu.
  • A list of recovery points appears that are automatically present on the computer system.
  • Select the desired time to perform the data recovery process.
  • Click scan for affected programs.
  • Click finish to end the data recovery process.
  • Be sure to restart the computer so that the changes and recovered data can be accessed again.

The Importance of Data Backup and Recovery

Data backup is done to make copies of data that can be recovered when damage or loss occurs to the main data. The existence of a data backup allows you to quickly recover data from scratch.

You can back up using additional media such as flash drives, external hard drives, to the cloud. If your business is in a disaster-prone location, it’s a good idea to consider alternative backup locations at different locations to make the recovery process easier.

For the best recovery results, perform regular and consistent backups to minimize lost data. The more time you spend on regular backups, the more likely you are to restore it when it’s needed.

Benefits of Doing Data Backup

One of the main benefits for businesses that regularly perform data backups is of course to be prepared for the worst possible scenario so that important data is not lost. In addition, there are three main benefits of routine data backup.

1. Easily Re-Access Files When Needed

When there is data or files needed, you only need the data in seconds to find it again from what has been backed up. Including for data backed up in the cloud, copies can be more easily accessed quickly via an internet connection.

2. Protect the Device from Damage

The devices used, ranging from computers, laptops, to mobile devices, are vulnerable to damage, both system failures, disasters, the effects of power outages, and decreased hard drive performance, with the potential for loss of important data.

3. Recovering a Crashed Operating System

One of the causes of a damaged computer can be related to an operating system that fails when processing various programs and allocating memory. Data backup becomes more efficient to secure your data from operating system failure.

Data Backup Types

Data backup can be done using a hard drive, flash drive or external hard disk, and cloud computing to prevent data loss. In addition, backups using the cloud make it easier for automatic recovery which can be accessed from laptops, computers, to mobile devices.

Even though it seems simple, an effective and efficient strategy is needed to back up data. Keep in mind that backups are a way to protect your business. Here are the three most common types of backups.

1. Full Backup

Make copies of all data stored on a set of other media such as disks, tapes, and CDs. It takes more time and storage space to do a full backup.

2. Incremental Backup

Incremental backups are faster and require less storage media because they only keep a copy of the data that has changed since the last backup. The backup application will record and track the time and date of all previous backup processes.

3. Differential Backup

Like incremental backups, differential backups also copy only all data that changed from the previous backup process. The difference is, each time it is accessed again, the differential backup will continue to copy all data that has been changed since the previous backup process was completed.
