The term "disaster" invokes images of serious calamities. However, fires, floods, storms, power surges and power outages happen far more frequently than most organisations prepare for. Other events that can affect an organisations IT environment include hardware theft, equipment failure, a severe cyber breach or simple human error.

Backups are an absolute must for any size organisation, in order to mitigate against any disruption event that could occur. The "3-2-1" rule of backup is essential for all organisations to follow. This rule means:

• have at least three copies of your data.
• have copies of your data on at least two different types of media.
• have one copy of your data off-site. A secure cloud location or an off-site redundant data centre / secondary branch is ideal for this.
