Why Backup?

IT problems can occur at any time. Often, by the time the problem is realized, significant downtime and slowdowns in productivity are already occurring.
The rate at which we’re all producing and creating data far exceeds that of any point in history.
Your data is essential to the smooth running of your business, or to protect precious memories. Guard against data loss by choosing a backup solution that is robust and reliable. It is very important to always keep at least one backup of your data. Without a backup it could take considerable time and expense in recovery attempts.
Business data is irreplaceable – more so than ever before. The rate at which we’re all producing and creating data far exceeds that of any point in history. No longer is a paper file folder or single office enough; the business world has become a globally scaled environment.
Businesses now have access to data that was previously unobtainable, they must care for data created by employees across the globe, as well as ensure that the data is protected from external dangers such as hackers or natural disasters. Because of this, many businesses need assistance in creating a business continuity plan to make their private data easily recoverable.
Businesses have to consider protecting and recovering data from all devices, especially as the popularity of tablets and smartphones grows. Implement a complete business continuity plan that backs up and restores:
  • Androids
  • IPhones
  • Servers
  • PCs
  • Macs

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining


You may think you have a backup solution in place, but is your solution good enough to quickly return your business to normal after disaster? If that solution is disk or tape, think again. Outdated solutions are simply that: Outdated. A solution is needed that will keep your business prepared for quick recovery, or low RTO (Recovery Time Objective) in the face of disruption. A proper backup solution is only as good as its recovery.
What would it cost you if you lost all your data? Companies unable to resume operations within ten days of a disaster are not likely to survive.
Your business depends on the security features of your online backup solution. Choose a solution that encrypts data end-to-end, and that hosts it in a truly secure data center. Should compliance be a factor for your business, be sure to choose the solution that enables compliance with government regulations such as HIPAA, Safe Harbor, POPI, PCI, and more.
Disasters and data loss simply can’t be anticipated. Any company is vulnerable to some type of disruption, whether from:
  • Hardware failure
  • Human error
  • Theft
  • Natural disaster
  • Other factors outside of your control


The lack of a business continuity plan doesn’t simply mean data loss, it’s the implications of that data loss that are critical: What would it cost you if you lost all your data? Companies unable to resume operations within ten days of a disaster are not likely to survive. Choose a cloud backup plan with proper encryption and offsite data centers for the ideal solution.
