Backup Tips for Businesses

Posted on by Neil Kemp of Network and Security

Data loss happens.

A lot and for a number of reasons. Sometimes it’s accidental, sometimes not and other times it’s a comedy of errors.

That’s why you need a comprehensive backup in place. They are crucial for business continuity. And they don’t have to be difficult. Simple backups can save you a world of trouble. It’s the very basic foundation that allows you to operate. It goes for any business – unless you have a good foundation, your business will crumble.

Where do you even start?

Here are a few questions that will get you started:

How much data will you need to back up?

How often will you need to back up? How old can your last backup be to avoid disruption?

How quickly will your data need to be recovered in order to prevent disruption?

Your answers will help you figure out the best backup solution for your business.
