Give Yourself Peace of Mind with Backup and Disaster Recovery Competition is key to economic growth. Many businesses rise to the top each year among their competitors because of hard work; however, not every company that fails does so because they were the weaker player. Some fail because of tragic, unforeseen circumstances that insurance money can’t fix. While no amount of planning can mitigate every possible threat to your business’ invaluable resources, the opposite is true for your data. With a backup and disaster recovery plan, your company can have peace of mind knowing nothing can destroy its greatest asset.
Redefining Your Definition of Technology Disaster How important is your business’ data?
If you’ve never lost sleep over the idea of losing your data, or this is the first time you’re reading about backup and disaster recovery, you may have never asked yourself this question.

Don’t fret. You’re not alone, as many overlook this issue. After all, if your employees are responsible, you have the latest technologies, and updated antivirus software, you should have nothing to fear. Unfortunately, disasters take on many forms. If a fire destroys your office, your technology goes down with it. If a burglar breaks into your building, computers are almost always targets. New equipment isn’t foolproof to failures either. Potential disasters include: ●● Environmental ●● Security breaches ●● Hardware theft ●● Hardware failures ●● Human error Your data is a culmination of all your projects, documents and tools for work. You’ve been developing it since your business’ beginning, but you could lose all of it in a split second to a variety of disasters. You can’t afford to lose it. So, if you’re serious about protecting your business, whether you knew all of this before reading or not, it’s time to stop thinking “it will never happen to me.”
Your Data Needs More Than Insurance
There’s a huge difference between the words ensure and insure, which is also the difference between a backup and disaster recovery plan and your insurance policy. Insurance is reactive, and the only time you typically call your agent is to report a loss. While your plan gives you peace of mind that nothing will ruin you financially, you might still worry about your irreplaceable assets.

54%
of businesses are unable restore the most important parts of their network within one hour.
Make it personal and think of a family heirloom or one-of-a-kind artwork. You’d almost always prefer to keep these over any payout. For a moment, view your data as an irreplaceable object as well. If something destroys it, you can’t just buy it back. It’s gone, and you must start over again. Now, as long as you’re reading this and your data is still intact, toss this notion out, because you can make as many copies of it as you want. Redundancy is a proactive measure that ensures you never lose your data in the first place by backing up multiple copies of it in a variety of locations, including locally, in the Cloud or both. So, what if your business already has backup servers and drives? Don’t relax just yet, as keeping your data in multiple locations is just the beginning.
Don’t Go It Alone
Disasters are almost always sudden. Depending on the size of your company and how much data you lose in one event, your downtime can quickly turn into a financial loss or a business closure. One hour of downtime on average can cost a small business $8,000, and large businesses upwards of $700,000, according to Infrascale. Your company needs to be able to recover as soon as possible when all or part of your network goes down. However, if your business keeps all its data on the Cloud but has slow internet speeds, or stores its backups on old servers, your data’s accessibility is at the mercy of your transfer speeds. According to a 2016 survey, 54% of businesses are unable restore the most important parts of their network within one hour.
