Whatever the size of your

investment firm, data backup

is an operating requirement


Sponsored by



This article examines

the different backup types

and the advantages and

disadvantages of each


Sponsored by



Local Backup


Sponsored by



The medium for storing

the data is in the same area

(i.e. the same building) as the

machine(s) being backed up


Sponsored by



Lost data can be restored

quickly because the backup

is easy to access


Sponsored by



Since the backup is

close to the source,


Sponsored by



any natural disasters that strike

will damage both of them,


Sponsored by



so this method will not work

for irreplaceable data


Sponsored by



Offsite Backup


Sponsored by



This method involves the

backed-up data being stored

in a different location from the

source, such as another branch

office or a safe deposit box


Sponsored by



Compared to local backups,

the data is better protected

against fire, theft or natural

disasters


Sponsored by



The disadvantage is that

repeatedly conveying the

storage device to a remote

location increases the risk

of damaging the data


Sponsored by



Cloud Backup Services


Sponsored by



These backups send data

on a regular or continuous

basis to an offsite storage

medium (usually in a

commercial data center),


Sponsored by



using an Internet or network

connection


Sponsored by



Their disadvantages are

higher price, slow initial

backup times, and the fact

that restoring data can be

a longer process


Sponsored by



Bottom Line


Sponsored by



Los Angeles investment firms

need to continually back up

important client and company

files and have a plan

in place for recovering from

a system failure
