1. Data Volume: Nanotechnology research generates substantial data, including large datasets from experiments and simulations. Weekly full backups ensure comprehensive data coverage. 2. Consistency: Regular full backups help maintain consistent and up-to-date records, which is crucial for ongoing research and development. 3. Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Weekly full backups provide a defined recovery point, minimizing the potential loss of critical data. 4. Risk Mitigation: Given the high value of data in nanotechnology, weekly full backups offer a safety net against data corruption, hardware failures, or cyber-attacks.
