3-2-1 Archiving and Data Protection Best Practice
The 3-2-1 Best Practice is a simple design and deployment strategy that restrains the storage monsters in your data center by creating a highly resilient archive that reduces acquisition and operating costs through improved resource optimization.
The 3-2-1 Best Practice advocates the retention of at least 3 copies of all critical business data, these copies should be kept on 2 different types of storage media, and at least 1 copy should be offsite on removable media. When combined with an enterprise QStar storage platform, the 3-2-1 framework delivers a very cost effective and efficient archive and data management solution.
