One word. &nbsp;Redundancy.<\/p>\n<p>We all understand that data can be lost. &nbsp;Disasters like fires and floods happen. &nbsp;Servers and other types of hardware can crash. &nbsp;Malicious deletion, encryption or theft are always possibilities. &nbsp;That&#8217;s why you make backups. &nbsp;But it doesn&#8217;t take too great a leap in logic to realize that many of those same vulnerabilities that can affect your source data, can just as easily affect your backups.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re storing the removable drives containing your backups next to the server they&#8217;re backing up, what happens&nbsp;if&nbsp;that building burns down?<\/p>\n<p>Achieving adequate redundancy with the 3-2-1 rule of backup is how you safeguard against that happening.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">How can I implement it into my backup strategy?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/puzzle-693873_640.jpg\" alt=\"how to implement 3-2-1 rule of backup\" width=\"450\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/puzzle-693873_640.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/puzzle-693873_640-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Well, there are actually a bunch of different options. &nbsp;We&#8217;ll quickly run through a few of the more common ones, but at the end of the day the method that will best suit your business is going to depend on a lot of factors unique to your situation. &nbsp;When deciding how your business is going to implement a 3-2-1 rule into its backup strategy, take into consideration things like: your budget, the amount of data you need to protect, the physical location of your office\/offices, and a whole lot of &nbsp;factors.<\/p>\n<p>That disclaimer aside, here are a&nbsp;couple of&nbsp;examples &nbsp;you could consider. This list is far from extensive, and&nbsp;some&nbsp;of these options can be mixed and matched according to your needs.<\/p>\n<h3>An example&nbsp;&#8211; Drive Rotation and Sneakernet<\/h3>\n<p><strong>3 different copies of your data:&nbsp;<\/strong>This could be achieved by implementing a daily, weekly and monthly rotation of 3 or more drives. &nbsp;More info on&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/education\/articles\/choosing-the-right-backup-scheme-in-backupassist.html\">drive rotation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 different media destinations:&nbsp;<\/strong>This could be achieved by using different storage media within that rotation &#8211; e.g. daily and weekly backups to hard disk, monthly archival backups to tape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1&nbsp;(at least)<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>offsite:&nbsp;<\/strong>This could be achieved by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sneakernet\">sneakernetting<\/a>&nbsp;1 or more of the devices in your rotation (the weekly and the monthly, for example) to a secure offsite location &#8211; e.g. a fire-proof safe at a second office.<\/p>\n<h3>Another example &#8211; HDD, NAS and Cloud<\/h3>\n<p><strong>3 different copies of your data:&nbsp;<\/strong>This could be achieved by performing System Protection backups to a local HDD daily,&nbsp;and&nbsp;to a network connected NAS&nbsp;twice per week. Then using something like the BackupAssist&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/BackupAssist\/rsync-cloud-server-backup.html\">Rsync Add-on<\/a>&nbsp;to also send critical file and folders to a cloud storage provider like&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/blog\/guides\/rsync-made-easy-with-amazon-s3\/\">Amazon s3.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>2 different media destinations:&nbsp;<\/strong>In this example, your media destinations would be a USB HDD, a NAS device and a cloud storage provider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1&nbsp;(at least)<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>offsite:&nbsp;<\/strong>In this example, your critical files and folders would be sent offsite to the cloud storage provider. &nbsp;You could then also have one of the USB HDDs taken offsite by a backup courier to ensure you also have bare-metal recoverable system images offsite.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Yeah, yeah.
