Backup & Disaster Recovery

Simple definitions for backup and disaster recovery.

Backup - making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.

Disaster Recovery - the process, policies and procedures related to preparing for recovery of data critical to an organization after a natural or human-induced disaster.

Data Retention – a policy of keeping data and records for a defined period of time in which the data can be restored, usually due to accidental overwriting or deletion.

Data Loss Statistics

Buffalo offers many technologies that provide businesses robust backup solutions.

• 6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year.

• Up to 20% of PCs suffer hardware failure in the first three years of use.

• Only 35% of SMBs have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan in place.

• Only 6% of companies suffering from a catastrophic data loss survive, 43 percent never reopen, and 51 percent close within two years

• As much as 60% of corporate data resides unprotected on PC desktops and laptops.

Buffalo has a comprehensive array of scalable products that address this

File and Backup Servers

NAS devices are designed to be business network file servers. Users access important data directly from the NAS server as centralized and robust network storage. Most commonly they’re also used to store and house PC backups.

A single NAS failure causes catastrophic loss of all backups. A more detailed Disaster Recovery plan should be considered, especially to protect from natural disaster.

NAS-2-NAS Replication

Regardless of RAID and hot-spare, if the entire NAS device were to fail, or if data was to be corrupted on the NAS device, loss of data would be evident.

To prevent ultimate data loss, an additional NAS device can be connected to the network and daily or weekly backups of the primary NAS device’s data can be copied onto the backup NAS device.
