9. Backup and Recovery
If your data is important enough to store, it is important enough to back up. Data can be lost due
to a number of events, including natural disaster (for example, fire or flood), theft, improper data
deletion, and hard drive failure. If you regularly back up your data, you can recover your data if
any of these situations occur.
Businesses sometimes use backup data to comply with data retention regulations and to archive
information before making major changes to their IT environments, such as batch updates to
databases. At home and in business settings, you should back up important data that might be
lost due to a natural disaster or the loss of a device that stores data.
