Data loss can be catastrophic, resulting in significant financial and operational costs. In the event of a hardware failure, natural disaster, cyber attack, or other unexpected event, having a backup can mean the difference between losing critical information and quickly recovering to resume normal operations.
After severe data loss, 94% never recover
The impact of a data loss event can be significant and cause irreparable damage to a business. In fact, according to a study by the University of Texas, 94% of companies that suffer from a catastrophic data loss do not survive. Losing critical business data can lead to a loss of customers, revenue, and reputation.
- Around 70% of small businesses close within a year of a large data loss
- An estimated 96% of workstations are not adequately backed up
- About 51% of companies close within two years of a data loss incident
- Roughly 39% of small businesses don’t have an incident response plan
Backup solutions are often an afterthought, but they are crucial to ensuring business continuity and survival. Don’t let your business become another statistic.
Backups are not enough
Regular backups are undoubtedly essential for protecting your data, but they may not be enough on their own. Backups need to be performed correctly, and even the slightest mistake can compromise the backup data. Additionally, regular backups do not protect against the risk of data loss during the time between backups. This can occur when data is created or modified but not yet backed up. That’s why it’s important to have a comprehensive backup solution that includes real-time data protection, frequent backups, and secure storage of backup data offsite.
- How often do you backup your data?
- How long do you need to keep your backups?
- Where are your backups be stored?
- Are your backups encrypted, secured, and confidential?
- How often do you test your backups?
Choosing and deploying a backup solution can be a daunting task. With so many different backup solutions available, it can be challenging to find the one that’s right for your business. Additionally, setting up a backup solution can be a complex process that requires a high level of technical expertise. To compound this, ongoing support and maintenance is required to ensure that your backup system is always up-to-date and working correctly.
