The 3-2-1 Backup Rule + Digital Integrity:
Essential Protection for Modern Businesses
The 3-2-1 Backup Rule
​
Maintain three copies of your data (original + two backups), stored on two different types of media, with at least one copy off-site. This proven strategy reduces the risk of total data loss from local incidents, ransomware, or disasters.
​
DATASTOR Shield™ makes compliance effortless with automated replication to NAS/DAS, tape, and secure cloud storage.
Digital Integrity in Backups
Ensure your backed-up data remains accurate, unaltered, and verifiable over time through checksums, encryption, immutability, and cryptographic hashing. These measures block ransomware tampering and support regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA).
​
Combined with the 3-2-1 rule, digital integrity guarantees every copy — not just the original — is reliable for seamless disaster recovery.
