What is online data backup?

So, what is online backup? In its rawest form, this is copying the data from a local IT system to a secure, remote location. This means that, should disaster strike and your data is lost from the local system then you can easily retrieve it and even choose the version you wish to recover.

Online data backup can protect your entire IT system or selected files and data. Method IT’s online data backup services are tailored to your business, providing the right level of protection, storage and recovery for your specific requirements.

Recovery point objective

In order to correctly identify the correct online data backup solution for you, there are two key questions that must be answered. Firstly, what is your recovery point objective? Put simply, if you lose your data to an accident or a malicious attack, will you require the latest version of your data possible or would restoring the data to the state in which it was left at the close of the last working day suffice? This informs how regularly off-site mirrored backups must be undertaken.

Recovery time objective
Your recovery time objective (RTO) is another important consideration when choosing an online data backup solution. Could your business wait a day for data to be restored, a couple of hours, or would you need access again within 30 minutes? Understanding these requirements allows us to recommend the right backup system for your business.

If you have large volumes of files and folders that need to be restored to their latest versions within a couple of hours following a complete system failure, a business continuity solution may be more appropriate than standard online data backup services.
