Backup As a Service

Backup refers to the copying of a device’s storage and internal files and store it somewhere else so thatno information is lost in case some damage is incurred by the said device, usually a Server or a laptop.Backup prevents complete data loss which prevents permanent loss of sensitive and private information.Information repository models are used to provide structure and depth to the data that must be backedup and sort out of the same. The main concepts of Backup are:? Recovery Point Object (RPO)? Recovery Time Object (RTO)? 3-2-1 Backup Ruleo Keep at least three (3) copies of data.o Store two (2) backup copies on different storage media.o Store one (1) backup copy offsite.? Security Role Based Access Control (RBAC)? EncryptionIMMUTABILITYImmutability is a solution that prevents data deletion from the capacity or archive extent. To prohibitdata deletion, Veeam Backup & Replication makes it immutable by applying the Object Lock technologyprovided by Amazon and some S3-Compatible providers. Backup as a Service or BaaS is a modern-day initiative or attempt that involves the purchase of backupand recovery services from an online provider. This removes the complexity of managing theinfrastructure, software, security of the backup. Instead of data being managed by a centralized system,an outside private, public or hybrid provider manages the content.BaaS may be used when an organization has outgrown its legacy storage backup and would have to gothrough a costly upgrade, or lacks the resources for on-premises, high-level backup. Outsourcing backupand recovery to a provider can also keep data accessible or restorable from a remote location in case ofan outage or failure.Orient Technologies as a Good BaaS Provider? Recovery support – Orient Technologies provides regular knowledge of the customer’s data andround the clock data recovery through a Service Dashboard with support via chat, email, or call.In case of any disruption, the BaaS would be used to speedily Self recover the data. Backup allowsdata with multiple recovery point and as per Backup Policy.? Security – A good BaaS would employ world class security protocols. Top notch safeguards likenetwork firewalls and data encryption should be there at the data centre, Security is enforced byintegration with AD, LDAP or o-Auth? Recovery SLA (RTO & RPO) – Three terms known as SLA (service level agreement), RTO (recoverytime objective) and RPO (recovery point objective) should be clearly defined while choosing aBaaS provider. Both values should be as low as possible because RTO defines the time taken forthe recovery process whereas RPO defines the frequency of data backup.? Customized services – Any efficient BaaS provider would be flexible in its functioning in the aspectof increasing its data backup frequency and the IT infrastructure of data storage.

DISASTER RECOVERY (DR)DR is a add on to backup and allows Business Continuity with DATA based on RPO, the data to be storedat multiple locations geographically so that the data is not permanently damaged or lost even if one ofthese locations is compromised due to some cyberattack on the provider itself.Advantages of Backup as a Service? Ease of management is increased by rotations of storage devices is as per MTBF, manualmovement of data to offsite locations, performing of more efficient deduplication. So, the BaaStakes care of data availability at 99.99999999%.? BaaS takes up a monthly fee depending on number of users and size of Data Backed up whichallows flexibility for businesses and entrepreneur start-ups that are on a tight budget to pay forwhat they actually need rather than the combined package. The cost pf ownership also gets cutdown by a great margin because there is no hardware component involved that might becomeuseless due to wear and tear over the years.? AES 256-bit encryption of backup data makes it secure, and safety comes 3 copies of Data storedin physical different Data Centres with the usage of BaaS. Regular testing of the customer’s dataand running various safety procedures on it are part of the ongoing process to ensureunparalleled security.? BaaS enables continuous business protection by storing data in a remote location so that anyharm that might be caused due to malicious attacks like ransomware attacks can be avoided.? Ease of addition and removal of data and infrastructure is extremely easy with backup as aservice as it provides the customer with cloud backup.
