Losing access to your business data, even for a short period of time, is a nightmare!
You’re most likely familiar with backups (we hope). Most people know backup tools are meant to protect your data by creating secure copies, while recovery tools restore your files when something goes wrong. But did you know: just having these tools in place isn’t enough to guarantee data security?
Recent findings show that many backup tools fail in critical moments. Shockingly, one-third of all data losses happen due to backup failures.
Losing a file is no big deal, right? “I know! I can simply restore it!” you think – but businesses trying to recover often find their backups missing or corrupted.
Corrupted backups are only part of the problem. Ransomware attacks are surging, blocking access to your files until a ransom is paid. Even with backup systems, nearly half of affected businesses end up paying out the ransom because it’s faster than using their own recovery options. But paying doesn’t guarantee full data recovery, and it only serves to embolden criminals to attack your business again.
Why do so many backup systems fail? Poor configuration is a common reason. Even when properly set up, backups need regular checks to ensure they work. Outdated systems also fall short against today’s advanced cyber threats.
Setting up and maintaining a reliable backup system doesn’t have to be a headache. Our IT team ensures your tools run smoothly every day! We use Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR), which unlike a traditional backup, allows you to keep your business running no matter what happens – whether it’s a fire, flood, cyber attack or other disaster.
We do this for businesses every day. Don’t wait for disaster to strike – get in touch with our team to secure your data the right way.
