INTRODUCTION
The relentless shift of business processes into the realm of information
technology is transforming the way companies operate. Traditional paper-
based documentation is rapidly becoming obsolete as the core of operations
revolves around IT systems. The repercussions of data loss in this digital era
are profound, with direct and indirect consequences, including reputational
damage and financial losses. This shift has prompted a reevaluation of recovery
time objectives as data volumes increase and service level agreement (SLA)
requirements become more stringent. Classic backup systems are struggling to
keep pace with the evolving data landscape, often necessitating complete
system restoration, a time-consuming process. In a world where data
generation is incessant, the urgency to protect data from the moment of
creation is paramount, a challenge that traditional backup solutions fail to
address. This paper delves into the critical importance of safeguarding data in
the contemporary IT ecosystem, highlighting the complexities and
shortcomings of existing backup systems and the need for innovative
approaches to data protection.
As businesses transition towards IT-centric operations, the significance of
data cannot be overstated. The reliance on IT systems to store and manage data
means that the loss of data can have catastrophic implications for
organizations. Not only can it disrupt day-to-day operations, but it can also
result in severe financial losses. The reputation of a company can also suffer
when it cannot fulfill its core business processes due to data unavailability.
In the fast-paced, data-driven business landscape, recovery time objectives
are of paramount importance. As data volumes continue to surge, companies
must reevaluate their data protection strategies. The conventional backup
systems that have served organizations for years are struggling to keep up with
the growing demands. Restoring large volumes of data, such as a 15 TB
database, can take days, leading to significant downtime and potential data
loss. The need for faster and more efficient data recovery solutions is evident.
In the contemporary data ecosystem, where information is generated and
modified in real-time, traditional backup systems fall short of providing the
necessary protection. Classic backup tools often necessitate restoring the entire
system, which is time-consuming and impractical. Businesses need solutions
that can protect data from the moment of its creation, ensuring that no data is
lost, and no valuable time is wasted.
As data becomes increasingly critical to business operations, customers
demand more comprehensive data protection solutions. They expect that data
can be recovered quickly, and they are unwilling to accept prolonged
downtimes or data loss. Traditional periodic test recoveries, while essential, can
be costly and time-consuming.
In conclusion, the digital transformation of business processes has made
data the lifeblood of organizations. Data loss can be catastrophic, leading to
operational disruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage. The
traditional backup systems are struggling to keep up with the evolving data
landscape, necessitating a revaluation of data protection strategies. In this data-

driven world, companies need innovative solutions that can protect data from
the moment of creation and ensure rapid recovery. This paper explores the
challenges and shortcomings of existing backup systems and emphasizes the
need for cutting-edge approaches to data protection in the IT age.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Effective data backup is an essential part of today's IT operations, but it
has often faced problems historically. In the past, backup systems were created
by companies or organizations to meet urgent needs. However, as the IT
environment evolves, the backup process is often updated without
optimization and the implementation of initial measures is ignored. It is
important to establish a good data protection system; Backing up is just one
part of a larger strategy than just solving silver bullets.
System administrators maintain backup lists, schedule backups, and save
necessary data in a reliable location. Back up server-managed data. This server
uses an intermediary to instruct computer users to make backups according to
policies and schedules. Archived data will be sent to the designated replication
office. Snapshot technology used in software or hardware helps keep data
consistent during backup.
The key to meeting IT and business needs is to create a Service Level
Agreement (SLA). Data security and data backup and recovery systems are
components of a good data center. This new technology provides near-perfect
backup and recovery, distinguishing it from traditional systems that rely on
external media.
In conclusion, this literature review highlights the historical challenges of
developing backup systems and the need to consolidate backup data to
preserve broader information. He also discusses the role of physical
administrators, snapshot technology, and the importance of SLAs in ensuring
data security and rapid recovery.

METHODOLOGY
In today's rapidly evolving digital environment, information is the
lifeblood of the organization. Protecting this information through efficient and
effective recovery is important to ensure business continuity. But as the IT
environment evolves and data volumes grow, traditional backup systems are
now struggling to meet the needs of modern businesses. To solve these
problems, we offer an effective method for data backup and recovery in a
dynamic IT environment.
1. Separation of Speed and Capacity
Past systems for backup systems are often inadequate to adapt to IT
environments. These systems are designed to meet initial
requirements but are not flexible enough to grow with the
organization. To overcome this limitation, companies creating
modern data storage, usage and management systems (RMS)

recommend the use of tools that can separate the backup and restore
speed of data volume.
The basic mechanism to achieve this is the use of snapshots.
Snapshots provide near-instant backup and recovery with minimal
disruption to physical operations. Snapshots capture a portion of
data and should be included in the backup strategy to ensure clear
control of the data backup and recovery process.

2. Data Recovery Selection

An important aspect of our approach is the importance of data
recovery selection. The main thing is not to restore the entire system,
but to keep only the necessary elements. Snapshots play an
important role in this process, allowing organizations to quickly
access specific data in a backup. Continuous data protection, such as
Oracle Standby with Flashback, enables rapid delivery of data copies.
This approach ensures data recovery is effective and objective,
minimizing time and business disruption. It follows the principle
that organizations return only what is needed at a particular time,
thus saving time and resources.

3. Reduce Data Gap

The short duration of data creation and preservation may vary
depending on the importance of the data. For less critical systems,
our approach recommends using snapshot technology to reduce
backup times to just a few hours. Snapshots serve as backup data and
can be created periodically (for example, every hour).
In contrast, continuous data protection is required for critical
systems. Technologies such as Oracle Standby with Flashback and
proprietary software and hardware provide the ability to roll back
data to a previous state, saving all changes. This approach ensures
continuous data protection, allowing organizations to roll back to a
specific point in time, thus reducing data loss.

4. Reduce Errors
Organizing your backups and measuring their effectiveness is an
important but often overlooked practice. This approach recommends
maintaining a simple computer backup, such as a backup system that
can be quickly used for testing. This approach reduces the time and
effort required to ensure the reliability of the backup compared to
restoring the entire system.
Some advanced solutions have a trial function. These machines can
run virtual machines periodically in the same environment using
predefined procedures to ensure data is restored, applications are
available, data such as storage is shared, and applications respond to
appropriate requests. Automated measurement reduces the
administrator's burden and makes data recovery readily available.

5. Transparency and Implementation

Complex backup and recovery processes that involve multiple
technologies from different companies can be difficult to implement.
This approach offers two options based on the organization's
capabilities and interests:
Autarky: In this approach, the customer is responsible for monitoring
performance under the guidance of experts. Integration involves
establishing processes, management responsibilities, guidelines, and
plans that enable the customer's IT department to develop and
operate independently.
Outsourcing: For organizations that are unsure of their ability to
manage ongoing processes, outsourcing to external experts is an
option. This approach is especially important when service level
agreement (SLA) requirements are high. Outsourcing streamlines the
ongoing backup and recovery process and helps manage data
recovery plans.

RESEARCH RESULT
Comparative analysis of Database Monitoring Method (DMM) and
various data management methods available, including Security and Recovery
(SBRS), Data Recovery Reporting and Recovery (DDBRM), Disaster Recovery
and Security Automation (ADRS), and Control and Communications (CCM) .
The goal is to manage data backups and the various methods and decisions to
ensure data availability and security against threats and destruction.

Data Backup Management

The text confirms that unforeseen events such as a house fire, equipment
failure (such as battery problems in server rooms), or equipment theft can have
a negative impact on IT infrastructure and business operations. creates bad
effects. In this case, backed up data should be stored away from the central
server to reduce data loss.

Offsite Duplication Management

A good feature of data recovery is the ability to quickly recover data and
access the data needed to recover. The plan adopts an offsite backup method,
which means saving a copy to a remote location. Two main ways to set up this
process are discussed

Removable Data
Data can be written to removable media (e.g. external hard disk, tape) and
moved into body space. However, this approach needs to be planned for
efficient delivery and rapid recovery when surgery fails.

Serverless Replication Control

This method uses a virtual private network (VPN) over the Internet to
transfer data to a remote location. The advantage of this is that there is no need
to physically modify the data. However, it requires a wide enough network
channel (which can be expensive) and stringent security measures to protect
data transmission.

Management of Published Data

Articles about the importance of using security measures when storing
data. This includes protecting carriers in protected areas and preventing
unauthorized access. Security measures may include access, confidentiality
agreements, and other measures to ensure the confidentiality of information.

Data Encryption
When using media removal the text is about the need to encrypt the data
stored on this device. Encryption ensures that even unauthorized people cannot
access the media and decrypt the data. The text also recommends using "fab
numbers" for additional data carriers to thwart data interception and attackers'
attempts to authenticate data.

In summary, this article provides detailed information about decisions and

methods related to data backup and recovery management. He emphasized the
need for off-site data storage to protect against various threats and covered
various topics such as physical transfer and serverless solutions. There is also
an emphasis on strong security measures, including encryption and non-
disclosure agreements, to protect the integrity and confidentiality of
information. This comprehensive approach is designed to ensure that
information remains robust in the face of unforeseen events and potential
threats to IT infrastructure.

CONCLUSION
This article describes the use of special software to perform backup and
recovery procedures, including storing data on various devices, especially tape
devices. It emphasizes the importance of deciding what data will be stored,
where and at what bandwidth. Centralized backup software provides the
ability to restore specific files and database files without having to restore all
files. Keeping backups on tape devices can save and protect important data in
the event of a disaster. It is also said that the data stored on the media tape can
be used for up to 50 years. But the effectiveness of this backup process depends
on their regularity and frequency, especially if the data changes frequently. The
text emphasizes the importance of using specialized software to automate the
backup process to reduce the risk associated with hardware failure and data
loss. In business, data loss can cause significant financial losses and customer
loss. Therefore, ease of data recovery is an important consideration when
choosing a backup program.
