Do you have your backup strategy properly set up in your industrial environment?
💾 In systems like Visual Factory, where key information on quality, traceability, and production is managed, this remains more critical (and sometimes more overlooked) than it seems.
And when it fails… it’s usually too late.
🔎 Some basic points we often see:
✔ Frequency:
How often are backups performed?
In many cases, daily backups are recommended (or even more frequently if there is a high level of activity).
✔ Retention:
It’s not enough to just create backups—you also need to decide how long they are stored.
A combination of recent and historical backups is usually the most balanced approach.
✔ Validation:
The most overlooked aspect.
Have you ever tried restoring a backup?
Because a backup that cannot be recovered… is useless.
