Just the investment in backup does not solve that problem. Restoring a 31TB database from backup could cost your business (in terms of time-to-restore-induced business downtime) more than the ransom itself. Containerization does not mean the death of virtual machines (VMs), just as VMs did not mean the death of bare metal.

World Backup Day was first introduced in 2011. It was easy enough back then; IT just had to backup to tape at night, keep a copy or two around for a month and send another offsite for archival storage. Backup has seen great advancement – even the standard 3-2-1 rule has added a digit or two. The uptime lifeline.

Have we got backups of our data? The 3-2-1 rule — three copies of data on two different types of storage media with one copy offsite — is an excellent maxim to follow. If you can’t recover data in a timely manner, it doesn’t matter how many backups you have. All too often, data protection is a checkbox exercise. Is one offsite?
