A New Method of Backup System, Read Carefully
If you are website or sever administrators, then you should at least once have the experiences when your system that you are protected is down as an effect of many complicated factors. This is very serous situation, even I will not tolerate if one of my colleague make fun with it. We talk about potential lost of very very important data and file belongs to our client. If you are the server administrator, you should know how desperately it is to lift up your system again soon as possible, even a couple of minutes would never be tolerated.
Loosing important files without having a backup of it could be counted as one of the big disaster. Even on a personal scale, loosing an important data is a big lost. Do you know how long it would take for collecting and compiling all the data, it could take years. Its also could be one of our important project that waiting for the deadline. After long hours of hard work and we must started all over again? That’s really suck. A company could even down and out of the business if they experience this condition.
Thankfully, there is always a new backup method that was design in order to conduct a proper backup. This method called offhost backup. This new technique sometimes refer as server-less or server-free backup. On this method we used a separate backup agent, such as router, bridge, disk array or robotic library. This backup agent could be located both on a media server or a third party’s PC. This method is actually provide double protection and reserved. Offhost backup is mainly used in a condition where the backup overhead is holding too much pressure to handle.
One thing that I always learn about it is never forget to backup your system and data regularly in order to avoid this kind of calamity. If we have a backup, we could quickly restore all the damage or loosing data and minimize the impact of it.
