Backup will ensure your data is fully copied and sent to a secondary site, virtually and physically away from your primary data pool. This is done in the event of a disaster at which in that case, you should have a working Disaster Recovery plan to retrieve this backed up data. That’s why you see backup and disaster recovery appear together often.
NOTE: Disaster Recovery and Backup are NOT the same, and neither will offer sufficient functionality or replacement for the other.
When we speak about Backup, a certain principle crops up often as good industry practice which will work for any virtual environment. This certain practice also answers questions that our customers often have for our team:
The popular backup concept is known as the 3-2-1- Rule.
The 3-2-1 Rule states that you need to keep three copies of your data, stored on two types of media, with one copy being off-site. Getting backups off-site can be challenging due to limited bandwidth, exploding data volumes and a lack of resources required to build or maintain a true offsite backup repository.
And the 3-2-1- Rule works across many technologies, in particular, with Veeam Cloud Connect. This is because you get to leverage its cloud backup repository services from a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider while taking advantage of Veeam’s Built-in WAN Acceleration technology. The result: your company avoids wasting money and resources into a second site or by adding bandwidth.
