My home data backup strategy: webinar presented by Mark Taylor, 18th October 2019

This webinar, presented by Mark Taylor of ICAEW's Tech Faculty, outlines a comprehensive home data backup strategy. It covers the golden rule of keeping data in three places and discusses the reasons for backing up data, including hardware failure, file corruption, deletion, ransomware, fire, and theft. The session explains Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and how they influence the frequency of backups and recovery expectations. It compares backup versus synchronisation and their implications for ransomware protection and versioning. The webinar describes a practical setup using an iMac, NAS, Apple Time Machine, iCloud, Dropbox, and rsync, along with the use of a UPS. Recommendations include establishing automated schedules, monitoring for failures, promptly disabling backup and sync during ransomware incidents, and regularly testing restores.
