Yes. G6 configures backup and disaster recovery using the 3-2-1 strategy: three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy stored off-site or in a geo-redundant location. This structure ensures a single point of failure, whether hardware loss, accidental deletion or ransomware, cannot destroy every copy of a business’s data at once.
3-2-1 backup strategy is a best practice:
- AES-256 bit encryption protects backup data both at rest and in transit, aligning with HIPAA and comparable compliance standards.
- Recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) define how quickly systems come back online and how much data loss is acceptable, and both should be documented in writing rather than assumed.
- Automated verification checks confirm a backup image is restorable before it is archived, rather than discovering a corrupted backup during an actual emergency.
- If primary infrastructure fails, then failover to the off-site or geo-redundant copy restores operations without waiting on repair of the original hardware.
