An organization implements a backup strategy incorporating both local and offsite data storage. They want to ensure they have multiple recovery points while keeping costs reasonable.
Which backup rotation strategy would best suit their needs?
Maintaining two copies on different devices but without offsite storage
Implementing the 3-2-1 backup rule
Using only a single full backup at an offsite location
The 3-2-1 backup rule states to keep three copies of data on two different media types, with one copy stored offsite. This strategy provides a solid balance between data redundancy and cost, ensuring that data recovery is possible even in the event of a catastrophic failure at the primary location.
Other options, like a full backup alone or a dual media scenario, may not provide adequate data recovery points or protection against loss.
