Imagine this: one moment, you’re running your business as usual, and the next, you lose access to all your data. It’s like a horror movie, right? But unlike a fictional scare, this nightmare is all too real for businesses every day.
You probably think your data is safe because you’ve got backup tools in place. These tools make copies of your files, storing them away securely, so if something goes wrong, you can just hit “restore” and everything’s back to normal. But here’s the catch – not all backup tools are as reliable as they seem. In fact, a surprising new report shows that a third of all data losses are due to backup-related issues. That’s right! Backup issues – the very things that are supposed to save your data can sometimes let you down.
And while corrupted backups are a major problem, they’re not the only thing to worry about. Ransomware attacks are on the rise, and these malicious programs lock you out of your own files unless you pay a hefty ransom. Shockingly, even with backup tools in place, half of the businesses hit by ransomware still paid the ransom, finding it faster than restoring from backups. And the worst part? Many of them never fully recovered their data even after paying.
So, why aren’t backup tools keeping data safe? It often comes down to setup and maintenance. A backup tool that isn’t set up correctly or regularly checked for reliability can be as risky as having no backup at all. Plus, as cyberattacks become more sophisticated, older backup systems can struggle to keep up.
Setting up and managing a truly reliable backup system can be complicated, and that’s where experts like us come in. We make sure backup tools are configured perfectly and regularly tested to ensure they’re working as expected. We also offer extra layers of protection, like continuous data protection (CDP). CDP constantly saves file changes, so you can roll back to an earlier version if something goes wrong. It’s like having a rewind button for your data!
We do this for businesses like yours every day. If you’re ready for peace of mind knowing your backups are solid and your data is protected, we’re here to help. Reach out, and let’s make sure your data stays safe.
