Data backup is an essential component of any IT infrastructure. It ensures that in the event of data loss or disruption, the data can be quickly and easily restored. However, it is not sufficient to simply store the backup on an external medium.

It is recommended to move the data backup to a different fire compartment to minimize the risk of complete data loss. Even if the original data is damaged or destroyed due to a fire or other unforeseen event, the backup remains preserved in another area of the building or even at a different location.

 This measure is particularly important because a disaster can affect the entire building or company. If both the original data and the backup are located in the same area, there is a high risk of losing both.

It is advisable to always store a data backup in a different fire section or even at a different location to ensure the safety and continuity of the company.
