Backup and
Is backing up your data that important?
If companies are focusing on cloud computing, if everything is stored off-site, and if we’re all accessing our data in shared solutions, is it really that important to maintain data backups? The answer is an unequivocal yes. Why? Disasters strike.
Having reliable backups is the first step toward a disaster recovery plan that can be rapidly implemented and will get your company back on its feet. FEMA says that 40% of businesses that close due to a natural disaster never reopen.
And in the modern cyber world, we have more to worry about than floods and tornadoes (though those are a huge problem). Ransomware, cyberattacks, phishing, whaling, malicious code hijacking websites and processing power; every one of these is as dangerous to a business’s function as a hurricane.

Why backups and
disaster recovery?
Customers demand more from companies, so they expect 24/7 service and support. Businesses are increasingly good at delivering it – but companies are not immune from disaster. When disaster strikes, being able to rapidly restore the most current version of data possible can save a business’s life. Literally.
According to Andrew Lerner of the Gartner group, an hour of downtime costs businesses $300,000 on average and up to $500,000 for some companies surveyed.
“93% of companies without disaster recovery who suffer a major data disaster are out of business within one year.

How it Works
There are two important facets of data backup that ensure you can recover if a disaster happens. First, you need to keep current backups of your data so that you lose as little as possible if you need to restore. Second, the ability to download your data quickly is critical. This minimizes downtime if your business has to restart.
- With BECA using the Arcserve solution, you don’t need to maintain expensive backups on-site. You save on installing and storage costs. You’ll also save on energy costs because you won’t need to maintain appropriate cooling conditions with an off-site solution.
- You know your data is in good hands. Maintaining data security is always difficult, but with cloud backups in a secure solution, you know that you’re getting the best encryption and protection.
- You can get your data back when you need it. From accidentally corrupted files to full-scale business re-creation, your data is there.
- Constant, high quality monitoring. You can see the protections surrounding your data in real-time, so you know your data is safe.
