Organizations today are looking to make their IT infrastructure as resilient as possible, protecting against application failure, virtual machine failure, and site-level failure.
The best practice for data protection follows the 3–2–1 backup rule. This best practice methodology suggests having (3) copies of backups located on at least (2) different types of backup medium, with at least (1) backup stored offsite.
