Lets talk about backup!

Whilst it may be true that backup and DR is not the most exciting topic of the IT-sphere, it is an essential and often overlooked part of a companies IT strategy.

You may be wondering how the image above relates to backup and its related subjects. Well the truth is, much like a human, the baby tiger is a fairly helpless being when it is born. Without its mother as "backup" it would not survive. The same can be said of businesses today - without a comprehensive backup solution your business may not survive if it loses business critical data.

The stark truth is 40%-60% of small businesses never reopen after a data related disaster and 90% fail if they don't reopen quick enough.

It is not always that a backup solution has not been implemented, perhaps you have a legacy backup solution that is bursting at the seams and creaking at the knees. You would not be alone, a recent survey of 1600 SMB and SME customers revealed a high proportion have a backup solution that is not doing the job.

Hopefully that has got your attention if you are one of those guilty of overlooking your backup and DR strategy. Perhaps you are entrenched in a move to public or hybrid cloud, and backup is taking a back seat! Who could blame you! Thankfully the latest backup and DR solutions out there address all of the aspects of your data - including those stored in the cloud.
