Could Your Business Benefit From A Cloud Backup Solution?

The average cost of downtime for a medium sized organisation has been estimated in excess of $100K per hour.

Ensuring effective off-site backup solutions is essential to any business, large and small. If an organisation’s backups are not well-managed, comprehensive disaster recovery becomes difficult, if not impossible. Business interruptions happen. It’s how you respond that is important to your bottom line.

All organisations are starting to realise that IT innovation is a top priority while also understanding that they need to be agile enough to quickly pivot and keep running when disruptions occur. Whether you are concerned about compliance or industry specific data protection regulations, you need to mitigate the risk associated with lost or corrupted data and that data needs to be ready for restore at a moment’s notice.

We all know that offsite data backup is something we should be doing. But, it’s not something that we all do. Cloud backup services are an insurance policy to protect your data from any number of data loss threats. It gives you peace of mind. Consider the following data loss situations. They are all too common and could cause your business to fail if an offsite backup solution is not in place.

• Deleting files: Updating files or deleting them are common activities.
• Viruses and malware: New viruses attack computers every day.
• Mechanical damages: IT hardware/software is a fragile part of business networks.
• Power failures: Power failures affect operation systems and hardware.
• Computer theft: It’s a tragedy to lose both your computer and data at the same time – especially with more remote workers than ever.
• Natural Disasters: These continue to occur on a daily basis

In all these cases, another factor to consider is the cost of data recovery. The cost of professional recovery can be considerably more than maintaining an offsite backup. The best data recovery case is one that uses a reliable, offsite backup solution.
