Best backup solutions for small business
Backups are what let a small business recover from ransomware, a stolen laptop or a deleted folder. A common rule is 3-2-1: three copies, on two kinds of storage, one off-site. Cloud backup handles the off-site copy.

FAQ
Is Google Drive or OneDrive a backup?
Sync services copy deletions and ransomware-encrypted files too. They have version history, but a separate backup with its own login is safer.
How often should we test a restore?
At least every few months, and after any big change. A backup you have never restored is a guess.
Does PDPA require backups?
The Personal Data Protection Standard 2015 includes security and retention measures for personal data. See our PDPA checklist for the official links.
