My Backup Principles

3-2-1 Rule

I follow the industry-standard 3-2-1 backup rule: maintain at least 3 copies of data, store 2 backup copies on different storage media, and keep 1 copy offsite.

Regular Testing

I believe in regularly testing backup and recovery processes to ensure they work when needed. A backup is only as good as its ability to be restored.

Balance Cost & Protection

I design backup solutions that balance the cost of implementation with the appropriate level of data protection based on business requirements.

Documentation

I provide comprehensive documentation of all backup processes, schedules, and recovery procedures to ensure operational continuity.
