The importance of data resilience cannot be overstated, as 43% of companies that experience major data loss incidents are unable to resume business operations. Data loss events can occur due to catastrophic technical malfunctions, human error, or cyber attacks, and businesses need to focus on how to avoid and minimize the effects. MongoDB Atlas provides a range of choices for a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy, including sensible defaults that ensure automatic safeguarding while offering customization options to align with individual application needs. The platform offers standard protective measures by default, customizable options for tailoring protection to service level agreements, and additional features that can be leveraged to achieve greater levels of availability and durability. Built-in features such as multi-region and multi-cloud clusters, encryption at rest, and cluster termination safeguards enable a comprehensive prevention strategy, while recovery capabilities support RTO and minimize data loss. The platform also provides strong default backup retention of 12 months out of the box, customizable snapshot and retention schedules, continuous cloud backup with point-in-time recovery, and regionally redundant backups to ensure rapid restoration in case of an incident or disruption.
