Data Protection To Avoid Data Loss And Data Recovery

Data Protection to Avoid Data Loss and Data RecoveryDevelop a Data Protection PlanWhat would you do if you lose your mission-critical data in a fraction of a sec, without any warning? Would you try and recreate them? It might take ages. Would you or your business be able to survive without it? You might have to start from the scratch. Are you ready for it? If not, then it is recommended to develop a data protection plan. It not only protects your data but your future. Let s find out about creating a strategic plan for protecting your valuable information.ManagementNo matter how big or small your company is; you may consider following certain rules. Appoint a data protection team within your organization by classifying the roles and responsibilities.This management team would be responsible for designing, managing, recording, or restoring the backup. You should promote a general awareness among the staff members regarding data protection. Maintaining Data Integrity+ By Restricting data accessYou must restrict access to your data with the help of access controls. Your information should not be accessible to anyone and everyone. The ideal option for restricting an access to your data would be to initiate with providing no access to everyone and then according to the need, make it available to only those individuals who depend on it to do their jobs.+ Password-Based authenticationWell, good that you have restricted an access to your data to certain individuals, but are you sure that others aren t trying to pull that information out. The best way to avoid that from happening would be to set a password-based authentication. This way, you can restrict unauthorized individuals from accessing your information, since this requires a password. This password-based protection is more convenient, secure, and easy to implement.+ By Encrypting data: These permission-based access controls aren t foolproof either. Hence, there arises a need to further protect the data by encrypting those important files. You can encrypt folders (and simply place files in those folders) by using an inbuilt file encryption. + Securing Confidential informationYou want to send an email message to a person, which is highly confidential but are scared if that gets forwarded. Well, it is in your hands. You can set restrictions on what the recipient can do with your message. They may not be able to copy the message or forward it because you have set it to work that way. You may also set the message to expire after a certain period of time, after which it would become inaccessible at the recipient s end.+ Using premium grade mediaYou might get tempted to use the media that costs you less. You may try using an off-brand media for the backup purposes. You use the backup media so that you can prevent data loss but the generic discs may aggravate the problem, instead of lessening. It has been proven that you use a branded media instead of non-branded discs. Branded-media have been found to be more reliable and compatible. The high-quality media would ensure data integrity and longevity in terms of quality. Similarly, it has been advised not to use reused or recycled tape cartridges. + Protecting the mediaWhat will happen if you have stored all the information on the CD and while trying to relax by having a cup of coffee, you accidentally spill it on the same CD? All the information it contains is lost in a second. It would be wise to store the media in a protective case to protect the media and particularly the information it contains from harmful effects of contamination, spills, or other environmental threats.
