Fully Managed vs. WPCO: which cloud-based Android management mode is right for your company?

Copias de seguridad: la regla 3-2-1 explicada

La regla 3-2-1 es la recomendación más extendida para no perder datos: 3 copias de la información, en 2 soportes distintos, con 1 copia fuera de la ubicación principal.

Por qué funciona

Protege frente a los fallos más comunes a la vez: un disco que se rompe, un error humano que borra archivos, un ransomware que cifra el servidor o un incidente que afecta a todo un centro de datos.

Cómo aplicarla en un servidor web

  • Copia 1: los datos en producción.
  • Copia 2: copias diarias en otro volumen o en el panel del proveedor.
  • Copia 3: una copia externa en otro proveedor o almacenamiento de objetos, idealmente inmutable durante unos días.

No olvides restaurar

Una copia que nunca se ha restaurado es solo una esperanza. Programa pruebas de restauración periódicas y documenta el procedimiento.

Qué copiar

Bases de datos (con volcados consistentes), archivos de la web, configuraciones del servidor y certificados. Y guarda las contraseñas de cifrado de las copias en un lugar distinto.
