Secure Data Backup

In the information age, data protection is critically important for every organization. The loss of important information can lead to significant financial damage and negatively impact a company’s reputation. Today, the financial value of data far exceeds the cost of the hardware needed to store it. At the same time, data is the most vulnerable asset, threatened by a variety of risks such as:
 

Disasters and accidents

Hardware or software malfunctions

Computer viruses

Human error


One of the most popular and effective data backup strategies is the 3-2-1 rule.

What Is the 3-2-1 Backup Rule?

The 3-2-1 rule for data backup consists of the following three core components:
 

Three Copies of Your Data:

To ensure data reliability, it's important to have at least three copies of your data. This includes the original version and two backup copies. That way, even if one copy is lost or damaged, you still have two more to restore your information from.
 

Two Different Types of Media:

The backup copies should be stored on two different types of storage media. This strategy reduces the risk of data loss in case one device fails.
 

One Copy Offline:

The most reliable way to protect your data is to keep at least one copy completely offline. This could be a physical medium stored in a secure location. That way, even if you're targeted by a hacker or ransomware attack, your offline data remains safe.
 

Benefits of the 3-2-1 Rule

Increased Security:

Having multiple copies of your data stored in different locations significantly reduces the risk of data loss. Each copy acts as a backup plan, adding another layer of protection.
 

Easy Data Recovery:

In the event of data loss, the 3-2-1 rule makes recovery easier. With three copies on different media, you can quickly access your information and minimize downtime.
 

Protection from Cyber Attacks:

The offline copy is especially important given the rising number of cyber threats. Even if your main system is compromised, your offline backup remains secure.
 

What’s the Solution?

At Arikt Ltd., we implement this approach by storing additional backup copies of your data on our servers, outside your infrastructure. With our backup services, you can rest assured that your data is protected and always accessible, even in case of an incident. We’ve developed a system that allows us to send your backup data to a remote server. This ensures that no matter what happens, we can recover your data to the latest version stored on our server.
 

Can Data Always Be Recovered?

Yes. We have successfully recovered data after hard drives were deleted or after entire networks were attacked and infected by ransomware.
 

Can a Third Party Illegally Access the Data?

Your data is stored in some of the most advanced data centers in Europe and is encrypted before storage. This allows us to guarantee your data’s security in full compliance with Bulgarian and European personal data protection regulations.
 

We check daily whether data has been successfully uploaded to our server. If we detect missing data, one of our specialists will contact you to identify and resolve the issue. This guarantees that your data can be recovered whenever you need it.
 

The 3-2-1 rule is a simple but extremely effective method for data backup that can save your business from serious loss. By implementing this rule, you ensure the protection of your critical information and guarantee that in the event of an incident, your data will be quickly and easily restored.
