Your IT Business Continuity Plan or Disaster Recovery Plan should establish procedures to ensure business continuity while minimizing the effects on the various departments within your company.

The word "disaster" often conjures up images of a major catastrophe; however, disaster refers to any problem, minor or major that negatively effects your normal day-to-day operations. One of the most common causes of data loss is physical failure of the media (hard-drive etc.). With everything saved on your computer’s hard drive your business is at risk unless you have a backup.

Normally hard drives will live for years without incident, however eventually, they will die. It might happen with some indication (if you know the signs) or it might happen suddenly, without warning and your business and/or personal data could be lost.

Our Off-Site Data Storage solutions include automated off-site data rotation, scheduled regular testing, on demand access 24 x 7 and available technical assistance in 90-minutes or less. This service can be provided via on-line data transfer as well as by regular data media pick-up and delivery.

FITS Off-site Backup Rotation Strategies

There are many effective Backup Strategies in use in the business world and depending upon specific requirements not one solution fits all customer needs.

Having said that, the Grandfather, Father, Son (GFS) backup is one of FileBank IT Solutions top picks. This strategy is utilized with many IT groups (including FileBank’s) due to its simplicity and minimal media requirements vs. backup depth.

GFS terminology defines the Daily backup as the ‘son’, the Weekly backup as the ‘father’ and the backup at each month end the Monthly or ‘grandfather’ backup. The Monthly backup may be kept permanently or overwritten after one year depending upon your backup strategy. (In some cases YEARLY backups are produced to be maintained for long-term or permanent storage.)

The Typical GFS system requires 21 backup media (if a single series of DAILY are used and 25 if two sets of DAILY are used). The backup media are permanently named according to their use with 4 Daily, (Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday); 5 Weekly (Weekly 1, Weekly 2, Weekly 3, Weekly 4, Weekly 5), and 12 Monthly tapes (January, February, March,…).
