Make Your Business Resilient with Hardware Backup from Tanglin
For safeguarding your organisation’s data, Tanglin offers the most advanced and up-to-date options available. We provide hardware backup services to all our clients: whether they need them as a standalone solution for their existing IT setup or as part of upgrading older or failing systems. Bear in mind that with hardware backups, prevention is always better than cure.
Business stakeholders don’t need a second reminder of how invaluable their company’s data and files are. No matter how well-developed and robust your systems are, they are always vulnerable to data loss. This is why backing up your computers is an essential practice. Even in an ideal world without any hacker intrusion or hardware failure, your data would still need to be transferred from old to new devices as your systems evolve.
An unexpected IT system crash doesn’t question the integrity of the overall tech infrastructure. However, if there is no proper backup in place for critical data like corporate information and company records, then that’s a problem business owners should worry about. In that case, it’s time to take action and prioritise cyber hygiene for your business by implementing basic hardware backup solutions.
The Right Time is Right Now
Many business owners wait until something goes wrong with their systems before thinking about backup solutions. Instead, think of backing up your computer as getting insurance for your home or vehicle. This way, you gain complete peace of mind knowing your data is safe from all kinds of threats, both internal and external. When you choose from Tanglin’s portfolio of services, you’re taking a proactive step in the right direction to protect your data.

The Importance of Data Backup and Recovery
Thanks to the smartphone era that we’re living in, people of all ages and backgrounds are familiar with the idea of data backup and how important it is. The value of this practice multiplies exponentially when it goes from personal or mobile computing to large enterprises with terabytes of sensitive corporate data.
The purpose of any backup is to generate a copy of your data that can be retrieved and recovered in the unfortunate event of a primary data failure. As a business owner, it can be comforting to know that this simple step can secure the future of your organisation. Without data backup, work worth millions of dollars and years of company time can go obsolete in an instant. Tanglin works out these worst-case scenarios for you so that you can focus completely on the positives and take your business to new heights.
How does data get lost? It could be something entirely within the system, like a hardware/software failure or data getting corrupted. Or it could be a human-caused problem, like a deliberate malicious attack through a virus or an employee deleting all data by mistake. Either way, it’s crucial for businesses to disaster-proof themselves from these occurrences.
Plus, the solution is straightforward: all you need is a hardware backup storage device to generate copies of data that is actively in use. This way, when a storage medium like a hard disc drive (HDD) fails, the original data can be easily recovered from the copies that we made on the backup hardware.
What threats can hardware backups shield your IT systems from?
No business, big or small, can afford to sit on the sidelines of data management. Making backups of all forms of collected data is vital. Data loss can happen under a wide range of circumstances and creating hardware backups solves each scenario. Backups protect your precious digital records effectively against the following:
- Hardware failures
- Ransomware and malware
- Human errors and oversights
- Power failures
- Virus attacks
- Fire, floods, and earthquakes
All of these scenarios result in the wastage of crucial resources, and having a hardware backup during such testing times can get your IT systems up and running with far less disruption to your business’s day-to-day operations.
All hard drives ‘die’ and there’s nothing you can do to stop it
It’s time for business owners to face some hard facts: none of your hard drives or storage devices are going to last forever. Assuming storage purchases are one-time transactions is a rookie mistake in the industry. Even with the best applications, processes, and products in place, a hard drive’s lifespan is short-lived—roughly around 5-6 years. Risk factors like virus attacks and water or drop damage are no help either.
As a result, data loss from hard drive failure is practically inevitable. When a hard drive ‘dies’, there is little to no chance of recovering the data it holds. This is why the practice of regularly backing up computers has become the industry norm. Backing up data to external servers or the Cloud is the only way forward.
Hardware backup options
When it comes to physically backing up your data, storage options are aplenty. Choose from USB flash drives, external hard disc drives, optical media, or tape. However, it’s important to know which one works best for your individual needs, considering the pros and cons of the following factors:
- Versatility
- Reliability
- Portability
- Cost
- Compatibility
- Ease of use
- Longevity
- Speed
Cloud-based online backups are also viable, but they may not suit some businesses, which regularly rely on large data exchanges. Some specialised USB backup devices can automatically copy all your HDD contents over to a built-in HDD with a single click. However, they may not be flexible in many instances.
To find out which backup strategy works best for you and your business, strike the right balance between reliability and speed. Hardware backup is your best option for storing data locally, but it’s still prone to physical damage or theft. Online backups depend entirely on internet connectivity, affecting retrieval, and recovery speeds.
Tanglin’s Hardware Backup Strategy
Our IT specialists in Auckland offer the best of both worlds in terms of speed and reliability, allowing us to come up with refined data backup solutions. With Tanglin making the right choices on your behalf, experience the ultimate in flexibility and reliability. Using the best-performing hardware backup options in the market, we analyse and assess storage choices best suited for your overarching IT goals.
Diversify your hardware backup methods and approach
Tanglin takes the guesswork out of all things IT and that includes helping you choose the ideal hardware backup solution for your business. There is no singular approach to backing up data: you don’t have to use just one type of backup method or have only a single backup.
Your company’s technology infrastructure might accommodate data backups on several different complementary sets of media. For example, you could choose to clone your hard disc drive using disc imaging software once a month while synchronising new and changed files daily.
lternatively, you could use two external hard disc drives and perform a weekly backup to one of the hard disc drives (HDD). This way, there are two levels of backup to choose from, should any issue arise.
A total backup of the computer, together with incremental backups of new and changed files, would offer you the option to restore various versions of a file over time. Using a cloud-based system for storing business files online is also a good way to diversify.
Essentially, with hardware backup, the array of options and different combinations of using them can seem intimidating. This is where Tanglin’s team of IT experts can find out which approach can keep your business operations at their optimal best.
