Backups that actually work when you need them
Why backups matter even more in Alaska
Ransomware, a failed hard drive, a burst pipe, or a long internet outage can all stop a business cold. In Alaska, getting replacement equipment or on-site help can take longer, so a backup you can restore quickly matters more.
The 3-2-1 rule, in plain English
Keep 3 copies of important data, on 2 different kinds of storage, with 1 copy somewhere else — usually a secure cloud backup. That way one fire, theft, or ransomware attack can't take everything.
A backup you haven't tested is a guess
Every few months, try restoring a real file. It's the only way to know the backup works — and how long a full recovery would take.
Plan for internet outages
If your phones, card machines, or bookings depend on the internet, ask about a backup connection that switches over automatically. A short outage then becomes something customers never notice.
