2025-10-03: Day of German Unity: A Good Moment to Think About Your Data Security

On October 3rd, Germany celebrates the Day of German Unity – a moment of reflection and remembrance. Many people use this holiday to pause, get organized, or take care of things that are often neglected in everyday life. It’s also the perfect occasion to think about the security of your digital data.

💾 Why Backups Are Essential

Data loss happens faster than you might think: hardware failures, cyberattacks, theft, or simple human error can result in precious memories and important documents being lost forever.
Just as October 3rd stands for stability and unity, a well-thought-out backup strategy ensures security and peace of mind in your digital life.

📐 The 3-2-1 Rule

A simple yet highly effective approach is the 3-2-1 rule:

3 copies of your data – the original and two backups
2 different storage types – for example, an external hard drive and a cloud service
1 copy off-site – to stay protected even in the event of fire, water damage, or theft

🛠️ Practical Backup Options for Home Users

External hard drives or SSDs: quick to set up and affordable
NAS systems: centralized in your home network, often supporting automated backups
Cloud backups: encrypted, flexible, and accessible from anywhere

The best strategy is often a combination, such as a local external drive plus a secure cloud backup.

⚡ The Risks of No Backup

Accidentally deleted files
Ransomware or other malware attacks
Physical loss through fire, water, or theft

With a backup in place, you gain confidence and resilience – much like a stable society gains strength through unity.

I work with modern, GDPR-compliant systems and, if required, storage solutions in professional data centers in Germany or across Europe.

✅ My tip: Use the Day of German Unity not only to celebrate, but also as a reminder to review or set up your data backups. It only takes a little time – but gives you long-term security and freedom.

2025-09-27: Backup or Bankruptcy – Why I Pull the Plug on Cyber-Extortionists

Imagine this: It’s Monday morning, the coffee machine is running, your PC boots up – and suddenly, shock. Instead of your usual desktop, a dark message pops up: “Your data has been encrypted. Pay in cryptocurrency XY.”
This scenario happens every single day in companies across the globe – from small businesses to international corporations. Cybercriminals make no exceptions.

🔒 Ransomware – a Growing Threat

A recent example shows how serious this has become: In September 2025, a ransomware attack on IT service provider Collins Aerospace crippled the check-in systems of several European airports – including Berlin. Thousands of passengers were stranded, flights were delayed or canceled altogether. Investigators believe the ransomware group HardBit was behind the attack.

👉 The message is clear: If even critical infrastructures with million-dollar budgets can be knocked out, how quickly could it happen to small and mid-sized companies without a professional backup strategy?

And this is exactly where I come in: How do I protect your business from this nightmare?

☁️ My Safety Net: The 3-2-1 Principle

I rely on the proven 3-2-1 principle:

3 copies of your data
2 different storage types (e.g., local backup and NAS)
1 copy stored externally in the cloud

This ensures that even in the worst case – if your local IT is compromised – your data remains safe, encrypted, and quickly recoverable.

🚀 My Backup Solutions – Scalable for Your Business

I know every company is different. That’s why I offer packages tailored to size and data requirements:

Starter Package: 5 TB of data – ideal for small businesses and startups
Business Package: 10 TB of data – perfect for growing companies
Enterprise Package: 20 TB and up – scalable for corporations and complex IT environments

All packages include automated backups, bank-level encryption, and cloud storage in European data centers.

💡 More Than Backups – Guaranteed Business Continuity

For me, it’s not just about securing your data – it’s about getting you back on your feet fast in the event of an attack. After all, what good are backups if you’re offline for days? With my solutions, you’ll be up and running again in no time – whether in the office, at home, or on the go.

Conclusion

Ransomware isn’t going away – but your company doesn’t have to be a victim. With the 3-2-1 principle, modern backup strategies, and scalable cloud solutions, I make sure your data is protected and your business keeps moving.

Without a proper backup strategy, the managing director is personally liable – and that’s about as funny as a dentist visit without anesthesia. 🦷
