Company backup should follow a plan, not an ad-hoc copy to an external drive.
- Inventory where data lives: file servers, databases, email and cloud apps, website, laptops and device configurations.
- Classify systems by criticality and set RPO and RTO targets with management.
- Design a 3-2-1 architecture with a local copy for fast restores, an off-site copy and an immutable or isolated copy against ransomware.
- Define schedules and retention, automate with suitable tools, encrypt backups and restrict access with MFA.
- Monitor failures, test restores regularly and document everything in a backup policy.
Backups often contain personal data, so KVKK obligations and legal retention periods apply; confirm them with your advisers. Racoun’s Pedante Bilişim team builds, monitors and tests backup structures.
