Back Up Your Data

A backup you never tested is a hope, not a plan

The Ascend Technologies data backup guide explains how to build a backup strategy that restores when you need it, covering the 3-2-1 approach, backup testing, retention, and protection against ransomware. It is written for organizations that have backups running but have never confirmed they work. Teaser: Having backups and being able to recover are different things. This guide covers the 3-2-1 strategy, restore testing, retention rules, and how to keep backups safe from the ransomware that now targets them directly.
