FAQs

Backing up your business’s data is crucial for many reasons including:

  • Data Loss Prevention: By regularly backing up your data, you can mitigate the risk of permanent data loss. Backup copies serve as a safety net, allowing you to restore your data and resume operations quickly in the event of data loss.
  • Business Continuity: By implementing a robust backup strategy, you ensure business continuity, as you can quickly recover your data and systems, minimizing disruption and allowing your business to continue operating smoothly.
  • Compliance and Legal Requirements: Many industries have legal and regulatory obligations to protect and retain certain types of data. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties, legal issues, and reputational damage.
  • Ransomware Protection:  Attackers can encrypt or steal your data and demand a ransom for its release. Having secure backups enables you to restore your data without paying the ransom.
  • Data Recovery and Version Control: Backing up your data allows you to recover previous versions of files or restore to a specific point in time. This feature is valuable in scenarios where you need to recover from accidental changes, data corruption, or user errors.

Ideally, your business should back up all of its data and devices. This means servers, laptops, desktops, program data, and email accounts. 

Data in a cloud backup can be accessed very quickly. Depending on the type of backup you have, some data such as files and documents can be instantly accessed. Larger backups such as whole servers or databases will depend on how much data it contains and how fast the internet speed is.

It is always a good idea to have more than one method of backups to protect your business data - if one method fails, you have another one to fall back on. Although they are useful in the case of internet failure, physical backup drives tend to have a higher failure rate than cloud backups so additional backup methods should be used. 

Yes, cloud backups can be very secure provided a reputable service is used and appropriate measures are taken.

  • Encryption - Your cloud backup should be protected with encryption to protect your data when it is transferred and stored securely. This means that even if your data is intercepted, it cannot be accessed.
  • Off-Site Storage - The data is also stored a multiple sites so that your data is protected against local disasters - another version is available at another site. 
  • Monitoring - Many major cloud backup providers will have continual monitoring at their data centres to check for security threats and vulnerabilities. 
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - MFA adds an extra layer of protection to ensure only those with an additional authentication method can access the cloud data.
