CISA's guidance for small organisations on planning backups: list what matters, follow the 3-2-1 rule, automate, and protect and test the copies. The same approach works well for a home or home office.

Quick steps

  1. Inventory the data you cannot work without
  2. Keep three copies on two storage types, one off-site, and automate it
  3. Encrypt backups, keep offline copies and test restores
