What is World Safeguarding Day?
A useful reminder... before it's too late
As the Wikipedia :
The idea was born on Reddit, when a user recounted losing his hard drive... And regretted not having been better informed about backups. Since 2011, this day has encouraged Internet users to make a simple commitment: back up their data regularly.
Every March 31, companies and the tech media mobilize to raise awareness of the importance of backups. Podcasts, articles, posts on social networks. The objective is clear: avoid catastrophe before April 1and that's no joke.
🏢 For businesses: the winning combo: NAS + Cloud
If you are a company with critical data (customers, projects, HR documents, accounts, etc.), it is essential to essential to organize your data and backups.
💾 Method 1: use a NAS
A NAS (Network Attached Storage) allows you to store your sensitive files locally, with secure access for your teams. Even better: you can use it to back up your LRob web hosting.provided you have a Fixed IP provided by your ISP. We'll talk more about this in the next chapter.
🛑 But beware: a NAS is not a backup.
And no, not even with RAID, which provides redundancy in the event of disk failure. Why not? Because RAID protects against hardware failure only up to a certain level, and not against accidental deletion, ransomware or fire.
This means replicating the NAS on a secure cloud service. For example :
- Cloud S3 compatible
➜ Prices vary greatly depending on the offer - Pulseheberg Storage Cloud
➜ From 6/month for 250 GB
➜ Compatible with all professional NAS on the market... And Plesk hosting!
➜ LRob can assist you with the set-up.
☁️ Method 2: Collaborative working via Nextcloud managed by LRob
Do you work in a team, manage shared projects or want to centralize your documents? You don't want to be caught unprepared when you're on the move, and you don't want to have to set up a VPN or any other time-consuming configuration.
Then Nextcloud is for you!

The optics are interesting: Files are stored on each computer connected to Nextcloud and on the server. Smartphones (Android and iOS) can selectively synchronize any file. This makes it easy to share and synchronize files within the team, and doesn't stop you working in the event of internet loss. It can also create new workflows such as the password database sharing with KeePass.
