Storage & Backup · Explained
A NAS is storage. Backup is how you get the data back.
Those two things are related, but they are not the same. A small business can have a very nice NAS and still have a terrible backup plan.
▣
NAS
A Network Attached Storage system gives users and services a central place to store and share data.
▦
RAID
RAID can help a storage system survive certain drive failures. It does not undo deletion, ransomware, theft or fire.
↺
Backup
A backup is a separate copy you can restore from when the primary data is lost, damaged or changed in a way you did not want.
The simple rule
If losing the NAS means losing the business data, you do not have a backup.
COD designs storage and backup together: the working copy, local recovery options, offsite copies where appropriate, retention and a realistic path to getting the business running again.
