Backup and recovery is the process of creating and storing copies of data that can be used to protect your organization against data loss. Data is one of the most valuable assets a business has and often holds the key to a competitive advantage in the market. Keeping data protected and consistently available has become more critical than ever. Critical data loss can come from malicious threat actors, natural disasters, hardware or software failures, data corruption, and simple user error such as accidental deletion of data. 

Threats to that data are on the rise, and data loss can halt your operations, lead to upset customers, lost revenue, and potentially bankruptcy. More than 90% of companies without a disaster recovery plan who suffer a major disaster, are out of business within one year. There are tremendous benefits from utilizing backup software in backing up your data that can save you time and help you retain your competitive advantage when facing a data loss or complication.

Here are the advantages of data backup and recovery:

1. Security

Knowing your company’s data is safely stored gives you peace of mind and helps you feel protected. The best way to go about this is having your data updated every day at a specific times. You can rest easy and concentrate on other activities knowing all your vital data is accessible in the event of an incident. The encryption tools used on your software and hardware will protect your data from unwarranted parties. Your critical files are encrypted before being transferred to an offsite data center for backup so they are secured, and safely transferred.

2. Cost Savings

Data loss is expensive and if you don’t back up your data could kill your business. Seven out of ten small businesses who experience a major data loss close within 12 months. Without a backup solution, it may cost thousands to recover your lost files. Backup and recovery solutions allow you to save and restore data quickly which will save you a small fortune in the long run. With our backup solutions, you know exactly how much you’ll have to pay.

3. Competitive Advantage

While in some cases downtime is inevitable, managed backup and recovery services help you avoid it and make it easier to resume your operations when disaster strikes. Lengthy amounts of slow or no business affect your reputation and can hinder your chances of succeeding in your field. With a backup plan, your business is protected, you’ll have access to customer data and business transactions, and your customers won’t have to worry about security breaches. This will give you a competitive edge and allow for better customer service and peace of mind. 

4.Reliability and Fast Recovery

One of the most significant benefits of remote data backup is that your company’s data is backed up automatically either daily or at scheduled regular times. Point in time backup uses snapshot functions to provide instant point-in-time copies of your data on a consistent basis, to minimize the amount data lost between backups. Retaining multiple copies of data provides the insurance and flexibility to restore to a point in time before your data was compromised. This makes the whole process of data recovery quick, easy and reliable.
