At the end of last year, there was another major news in the Internet field. The final version of the "Internet Security Law of the People's Republic of China" will be implemented on June 1, 2017. This not only means that the national level pays attention to network security issues, but also means that some important industry fields and units are about to face mandatory regulatory requirements in information construction. Although many innovative technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc. continue to emerge on the road of informatization development, data security is still the cornerstone to ensure the rapid and healthy development of informatization.

It is mentioned in the regulations that in addition to taking protective measures in accordance with the requirements of the network security level protection system, network operators also need to "take measures such as data classification, important data backup and encryption" to prevent network data from being leaked or stolen or tampered with. . Critical information infrastructure operators must "make disaster recovery backups for important systems and databases". The most important thing is that the state will implement key protections for "public communication and information services, energy, transportation, water conservancy, finance, public services, e-government and other important industries and fields".

Today, with the continuous development of Internet technology, information still faces various threats such as data loss, data leakage, human error deletion, malicious tampering, hacker attacks, and viruses. The urgent need to protect data security has greatly promoted the rapid development of the disaster recovery and backup market at home and abroad, and the field of disaster recovery and backup has also undergone a series of development and changes. In terms of technology, scheduled backup can no longer meet the market demand, and real-time backup and mirror replication technologies also show certain defects. CDP continuous data protection technology has been recognized by more and more professionals.

The disaster recovery backup product based on CDP continuous data protection technology can perform disaster recovery backup for important systems and databases, and replicate and backup the data change records of the database (including the changed data itself, logical relationship, and timestamp) in sequence in real time. After the data change is transmitted to the backup machine through the agreement between the master and the slave station, a copy of the previous data is recovered in real time to form the latest immediately available data. When the information system encounters an unexpected downtime, the backup machine can continue to work externally. To ensure business continuity; another copy is stored in the .mydata file in its own format. When misoperation or data tampering occurs, data at any point in time can be recovered to prevent data loss and errors.

Careful readers may have seen that in addition to data security, CDP disaster recovery also includes the protection of business continuity. In terms of the operational security of critical information infrastructure in the upcoming regulations, it is also mentioned to ensure "the performance that supports the stable and continuous operation of the business".

The operation of informatization must not be sloppy, let alone take chances. Once an information accident occurs, it will not only cause uncontrollable losses to relevant units and individuals, but also may face more severe penalties after the regulations are introduced and implemented. The field of disaster recovery is about to face a whole new level, are you ready?
