⭐ ARTICLE 15 — Best Backup Strategies

Best Backup Strategies for 2025 (Cloud & Local)

Backups are essential to prevent data loss from hardware failure, theft, or cyberattacks. Here are the most reliable methods for both personal and business use. 

 

1. Use the 3-2-1 Backup Rule

The safest backup strategy:

  • 3 copies of your data
     
  • 2 different storage types
     
  • 1 stored off-site
     

2. Cloud Backups

Good for:

  • Phones
     
  • Laptops
     
  • Business documents
     

Recommended cloud tools:

  • OneDrive
     
  • Google Drive
     
  • iCloud
     
  • Dropbox
     

3. External Drives

Great for:

  • Large media files
     
  • Entire system images
     
  • Quick restores
     

Use SSDs for faster performance.


4. Automatic Scheduled Backups

Set backups to run weekly or daily so you never forget.


5. Business Backup Plans

Small businesses should back up:

  • Client files
     
  • Invoices
     
  • Accounting data
     
  • Photos / design files
     
  • Server or NAS data
     

We can design a customized backup plan for your home or business during an IT consultation.
