RECOMMENDED BACKUP SCHEDULES

Protect What Matters

Why Backups Matter

Imagine losing all of your files to a crash, ransomware, or accidental deletion. Your data is the lifeblood of your organization. Backups aren’t just a good idea, they’re essential. That’s why a smart, layered backup schedule is key to protecting your operations.

Our Recommended Backup Strategy

Hourly Backups (For High-Priority Systems)

What: Creates snapshots periodically, usually hourly.
Why: Ideal for systems that constantly change (e.g., databases, accounting software, EHR).

Daily Backups (Standard Protection)

What: Backs up changes made throughout the day, typically at night.
Why: Captures workday progress and protects against overnight failures.

Weekly Backups (Basic Protection)

What: Creates a complete copy of your system once a week.
Why: Serves as a long-term restore point in case of major failures or ransomware.

The Layered Defense: How It Works

Schedule	Purpose	Recovery Time	Data Loss Risk
Hourly	Protect critical changes – Maximum protection	Fast	Very Low
Daily	Capture workday progress – Balanced protection	Moderate	Low
Weekly	Long-term restore points – Low impact/good recovery	Slower	Medium
