Question |
If I’m using a
RAID system that protects my data, do I still need
to perform regular backups? |
Answer |
Yes. In most cases,
a good backup policy should always be in place,
unless the data being stored is transitory or
unimportant – not requiring backup or archiving.
In other cases, backups or archives may be required
by regulation – such as in financial or medical
environments. Good disaster recovery planning, as
well as data security concerns, also call for an
effective backup and/or archiving policy to be in
place. As reliable as today’s RAID systems are
protecting data, they can’t protect against
vandalism, theft, flood, fire, tornados, etc. The
most reliable backup policies generally include an
‘off-site’ requirement for the backed up
data. |
