replicas, backups & offsite storage create a comprehensive data protection strategy

At AccountTECH, we prioritize the security, availability, and integrity of our clients' data. Our SQL Server backup strategy is designed to ensure an uninterrupted user experience while adhering to best practices for disaster recovery planning. Here's an overview of our robust approach:

four pillars of SQL Server protection

There are four pillars to AccountTECH's data protection strategy.

01real-time replication with SQL Always On Replica Groups

To maintain high availability and minimize downtime:

We implement SQL Always On Replica Groups, which provide real-time replication of all SQL data.

This replication occurs on separate hardware, ensuring redundancy.

Automatic failover is configured, so if the primary server encounters an issue, the secondary server takes over seamlessly without disrupting user access.

02daily backups to local data storage

In addition to real-time replication, we create daily backups of users' SQL databases.

These backups are stored in a secure, local data storage system within our data center.

The storage is located on a completely separate network, isolated from the primary system to enhance security and prevent cross-contamination in the event of a breach.

03secure backup network with unidirectional data flow

The backup network employs a unidirectional data flow (also known as data diode technology) for enhanced security.

Data can only flow from the primary network to the backup network, preventing any potential intrusion or data corruption from the backup side.

This design ensures the integrity and safety of backups, even in the unlikely event of a network compromise.

04offsite backup storage on Google Drive

For an additional layer of disaster recovery, we send a copy of each client's database to Google Drive, ensuring offsite storage in a secure, cloud-based environment.

This offsite copy protects against potential physical disasters affecting the local data center and provides a reliable recovery point.

why this matters to you

AccountTECH's multi-layered backup strategy protects availability and data integrity across live systems, local backup infrastructure, and offsite recovery storage.

high availability

Real-time replication with automatic failover guarantees minimal disruption to users.

data security

Isolation of backup systems and unidirectional data flow safeguard against cyber threats.

At AccountTECH, we go above and beyond to ensure your data is handled with the utmost care, offering you unparalleled security, speed, and reliability.
