Implementing the 3-2-1 Backup Rule with HYCU: Crucial Insights You Should Know | HYCU Blog
Did you know that HYCU provides simple one-click configuration of one of the most practiced data protection strategies, 3-2-1?
When discussing best practices for protecting business data, one of the safest rules to follow is 3-2-1. This time-tested approach has been a cornerstone of data protection for years, and for good reason. It provides a robust framework for ensuring your critical information remains safe and accessible, even in the face of unexpected disasters or system failures.
But, what exactly does 3-2-1 mean?:
- Three: Number of copies of data
- Two: Number of copies to be stored on at least two different media
- One: Number of copies to be stored off-site
The good news is that HYCU already embeds the 3-2-1 approach by enabling one-click simple configuration for one of the most practiced and implemented backup strategies in the industry. This means you can quickly and easily set up a robust backup strategy without needing extensive technical knowledge or complex configurations.
How to Implement 3-2-1 with HYCU
Having three copies of the data includes also the primary/production data and that already includes using one media for primary storage. What you need to make sure is that two additional copies are created and one of those needs to be off-site.
The simplest way to accomplish this with HYCU is by having two backup targets defined – one on-site and a second one should be an Azure or AWS target in order to assure that you have a copy offsite. The dialog below is all you need to do in order to configure.
By leveraging HYCU's powerful features and following these best practices, you can implement a robust 3-2-1 backup strategy that provides peace of mind and ensures your critical business data remains protected against a wide range of potential threats.
But don’t just take my word for it. Try HYCU and see for yourself.
