3-2-1 Rule Backup
What is 3-2-1 Rule Backup and why does it matter?
The 3-2-1 Rule Backup, also known as the “three-two-one” strategy, is a widely adopted best practice in data backup and disaster recovery. It dictates that an organization should maintain at least three copies of its most critical data, with two copies on different storage media, and one copy offsite. This rule ensures that in the event of data loss or disaster, there are sufficient backup copies to recover the data and minimize downtime. Simply put, the 3-2-1 Rule Backup is a safeguard against the unthinkable – data loss.
