Did you know that over 15% of companies experience data loss during backup processes? But,with the right approach, you can avoid common pitfalls and ensure your data remains secure. Here are some practical tips for maintaining effective BIM 360 projects backup with Cloudsfer, helping you protect your data throughout the entire project life cycle.
Before Starting Your Backup BIM 360, You Should:
1. Set Up Automated Backups
The construction projects are indeed very dynamic, with several teams collaborating on BIM 360. Since the updates to the project files occur really often, you can automate the BIM 360 projects backup process. When newer revisions or changes happen in design models or construction documents, for example, Cloudsfer will keep your backups current and reduce the possibility of data loss.
2. Ensure Backup Integrity
Creating the backups is a good step but their integrity is what matters most. To be sure you can always stay updated regarding the status of your BIM project backups through timely email notifications. In case any backup fails or an issue occurs, you will be alerted to take immediate action. This proactive monitoring helps ensure that your BIM 360 cloud backup copies are accurate and reliable, which also minimizes the risk of data loss and ensures that your backups are ready for recovery when you need them.
3. Use Multiple Backup Locations
It is always better to have a second location where you can save your files. It adds an extra layer of protection to your BIM 360 project. So, you might consider backing up your BIM 360 data to multiple cloud services to be on the safe side. And most importantly your data is secure and accessible from different platforms just in case you need to access it.
4. Perform Test to Validate Your Backup Recovery
Performing periodic tests of your backup restore procedures allows you to recover your BIM 360 project in case you need it. For example, you can restore a small subset of data simply to make sure the restore process is working. This practice helps confirm that your backup data is intact and recoverable, and that you can rely on your backups to restore your data smoothly in case of an emergency.
