Here are some of the most common mistakes with backing up your data to the cloud:
Failing to Test
One of the most common mistakes people make when it comes to cloud backups is failing to test their backups. Having a backup doesn't mean it will work when you need it.
You should regularly test your backups to ensure that they are working correctly and that you can access and use the data you've backed up.
Not backing up often enough:
Another common mistake is not backing up often enough. Depending on your data changes, you may need to back up daily, weekly, or even more frequently. The key is to ensure you are backing up often enough so that you don't lose too much data if something happens to your primary copy.
Not encrypting data:
If you are storing sensitive data in the cloud, it's important to encrypt it before uploading it. This will help protect your data if the cloud provider experiences a security breach.
