Heat waves and data backups
Considering the substantial heatwave in Melbourne that’s been blistering us all this week, we’ve had relatively few hardware failures in this time. However, this does not mean that it’s safe to assume everything will operate as per normal.
What’s your backup schedule?
eMarketeer Australia has a fully redundant syncing schedule between our Melbourne office, Sydney production server location, and our failover systems in the USA. Our schedule is fully automated in order of importance.
We’re lucky to have a flexible and reliable method of backing up our data, but not everyone has the infrastructure or knowledge to have a setup this ellaborate.
Never enough backups…
Backing up once per week? In this heat you ought to be backing up at least once per day. You should also make sure your backups are stored in two seperate locations, so that in the event of a fire, not all hope is lost.
