This Saturday, March 31st marks the 8th celebration for World Backup Day, an annual reminder to people and business owners to backup their data in order to avoid, “looking like a fool”, on April Fool’s Day.
Some quick data loss stats:
- 80% of businesses close within three years of a major disaster
- 40% cease operations after a critical failure
- 93% file for bankruptcy within 12 months if blocked from their data for 10+ days
Don’t Fall Victim
One of the safest, most affordable options to keeping your data safe is backing up to the cloud. A smart alternative to storing data on your office computers or tape drives, the cloud offers many benefits:
- Affordability – No expensive equipment to purchase or install. You also don’t have to deal with routine maintenance or repairs.
- Ease of Use – No hours of training needed! One set up, you just need to decide how often data will be saved. Whether it’s hourly, weekly or any other interval you need, the rest is done automatically from that point on.
- Scalability – Cloud backup easily grows and evolves with your business.
- Speed – Accessing data in the cloud takes only a few minutes, recovering data following a loss is equally fast and efficient.
