What is Hybrid Backup?

Hybrid Backup combines the advantages of the Dedicated (onsite) Backup with those of the Cloud (offsite) Backup into one ultimate backup system. Not only is all of your important data (Word & Excel documents, spreadsheets, databases, photos & images, videos, and other files) transferred to a secure, reliable remote location for safe-keeping, but it is also about making sure that you have immediate access and full control of your data from a fast, onsite, enterprise-grade server — your own “private cloud.” Having the offsite backup ensures that if and when disaster strikes at the office such as earthquake, fire, flood, attack, etc. —  you will be able to recover your valuable data from the remote site. Having the onsite backup ensures that when one of your computer systems suffers a failure from a bad hard drive, virus/spyware/malware infection, accidental file deletion — you will be able to recover from the problem with minimal impact to business continuity. Hybrid Backup is the best of both worlds, where you can “have your cake, and eat it too.”

Why perform both onsite and offsite backups?

Redundancy – Keeping copies of your data in more locations means you get greater redundancy and protection from data loss. If one site goes down, your data can be reliably retrieved from the other site.

Convenience – Keeping copies of your data close by, physically within reach, means you can get to it quickly and recover data as quickly and efficiently as your local network and systems will allow. This minimizes downtime and maximizes business continuity!

Control – You have copies of your backed up data on-hand, which means you are in control of that data. If you only have Cloud (offsite) Backup, but can’t communicate with that remote site due to an internet outage, then what good are those backups in your time of need?

What are the types of hybrid onsite/offsite backups?

  • Type 1 – Backup to USB or NAS hard drives. The boss takes a static, unencrypted copy of the data home on those USB hard drives, every so often.
  • Type 2 – Backup to USB or NAS hard drives. An archiving company sends a truck driver to your office to pick up those USB hard drives from your office, every so often.
  • Type 3 – Backup to a fast, dedicated, enterprise-grade server that is fully-aware of what it’s backing up, knows how to handle the data properly, and has the power to get your business back onto its feet after a localized data loss event or system failure. Your valuable data is then automatically encrypted and backed up to a secure, safe, and reliable offsite location, on a daily or even hourly basis.

What features should I look for in a hybrid cloud onsite/offsite backup?

  • Automatic onsite and offsite backup.
  • Up-to-date backup of all your latest data, both onsite as well as at a remote site.
  • Easy access and fast recovery of the data.
  • Secure and reliable offsite location with 24/7 monitoring.
  • Works in the background, with no impact to business continuity.
