Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud-based data backup and recovery solution that allows businesses to outsource their data protection to a third-party provider. Instead of managing their own backup infrastructure, organizations subscribe to a BaaS provider that handles the storage, security, and management of backups. This model simplifies data protection, reduces costs, and improves business continuity.
At Open Cloud, we provide automated, secure cloud-based backups that ensure your critical data is always recoverable when you need it. We follow the 3-2-1-1-0 Golden Backup Rule to guarantee comprehensive protection.
The 3-2-1-1-0 Golden Backup Rule
3: Maintain at least three copies of your data
- One primary copy plus two additional backups
- The probability of simultaneous failure across three separate copies is significantly lower than with just two copies
2: Store backups on two different media types
- One copy on internal hard disk drives
- Another copy on different storage media (tapes, external drives, cloud storage)
- This protects against media-specific failures
1: Store at least one copy at an off-site location
- Keep at least one backup copy away from your primary business location
- Protects against local disasters like fires, floods, or theft
1: Store at least one copy offline
- Maintain an air-gapped backup that's disconnected from your network
- Protects against cyberattacks that could compromise online systems
0: Ensure zero errors in verified backups
- Daily monitoring of all backup processes to identify and resolve issues immediately
- Regular restore testing to verify data integrity and recovery procedures
- Proactive validation ensures your backups will work when you need them most
