Backup

At Lucas IT Solutions, we're obsessed with protecting your data. Every time we take over a network from another provider, our priority is to overhaul the backup strategy. We adhere to a few key principles that form the foundation of a robust backup and disaster recovery plan:

Our Key Principles:

• Redundancy: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This principle applies to everything from server hard drives and power supplies to your methods for backing up data.
• No Humans: People are expensive and unreliable when it comes to backup tasks. If your backup strategy relies on someone to regularly change tapes or manually copy data, failure is inevitable—often at the worst possible time.
• Versioning: It’s not enough to just back up data; you need to keep previous versions of files to restore your system to the exact moment you need.
• Imaging: Unlike most IT providers who just back up data files, we use disk imaging technology to capture everything—including server programs and configurations—so you can be up and running quickly.
• Off-site: All critical business data should be sent off-site daily. Disasters like fire, flood, earthquake, or burglary are rare, but when they happen, it's often without warning.
• 24x7 Monitoring: Backups must be consistently monitored. We are alerted immediately if a backup fails, ensuring there are no gaps in your protection.

With Lucas IT Solutions, you can rest easy knowing that your data is safe, secure, and always recoverable.
