Data backup : A pillar of IT security

Belgian companies face the challenge of data loss

In an increasingly digital world, data is a valuable asset for all businesses. Unfortunately, cyber-attacks, human error and hardware failure can lead to irreparable losses. The question is no longer "if"but "when" a company is faced with an incident affecting its data.

Implementing a robust backup solution is not just a preventive measure; it's a guarantee of continuity and longevity. This article explores the importance of backup and why Belgian companies need to invest in modern solutions tailored to their needs.


The consequences of not having a backup solution

  1. Significant financial losses :
    • One study shows that data loss can cost SMEs up to several thousand euros, not counting business interruptions.
  2. Damage to reputation :
    • Losing sensitive data can damage the trust of customers and partners.
  3. Regulatory non-compliance :
    • Not being able to retrieve data can lead to penalties for non-compliance with laws, such as the RGPD.
  4. Extended recovery time :
    • Without a backup, it can take days or even weeks to reconstitute the data.

The different types of backup solutions

  1. On-site backup :
    • Storage on internal servers or external hard drives.
    • Ideal for fast data access.
  2. Off-site backup (cloud) :
    • Data is hosted in secure data centers accessible via the Internet.
    • Flexible, scalable solution, perfect for protecting against local disasters.
  3. Hybrid backup :
    • Combines local and cloud backup for double security.
  4. Full backup :
    • All data are copied with each cycle. Although slower, it offers simplified recovery.
  5. Incremental and differential backup :
    • Saves only changes since the last copy, optimizing storage time and space.

The benefits of modern backup solutions
