Here’s Why")

No matter how you look at it, there will always be a significant difference between a data backup and a successful recovery. Businesses are too often under the impression that they are one and the same, but this is a faulty belief that puts them at risk. If you back up your files to the cloud, your business needs a way to recover those files, and fast. Otherwise, downtime ensues, and you don’t want that.

An unpopular opinion regarding business IT infrastructure is that there’s a big difference between “fun” and “functional.” Sure, your infrastructure might run, but how practical is it, and a better question yet, can it survive a major disaster? While data backup is not the most fun topic in the world, this doesn’t change the fact that your business *needs* to consider what happens in a data destruction scenario and if it can bounce back in a reasonable timeframe.

Some of the hardest cybersecurity lessons are only learned after the fact. Whether it’s a data breach caused by poor security practices or simple human error, the end result is the same: a loss of time, money, and reputation. You can learn these simple security lessons now and save yourself a lot of hurt along the way.

We've all seen the scary headlines about ransomware attacks crippling businesses, big and small. It's a threat that's not going away, and unfortunately, many businesses only think about their response after the dreaded ransom note appears. Today, I want to talk about what a proper ransomware response looks like—and it starts long before the attack ever happens. The goal should be to ensure that an attack does the least possible damage to your business.

There are a lot of ways that a business’ data is at risk. Hackers can inundate your network with malware, some kind of natural disaster can befall your place of business, you could be the victim of sabotage, or someone who works for you can just mistakenly delete a critical file. With so much risk, it’s a good idea to have a comprehensive backup and recovery plan in place so you have access to a copy of your data should any of these unfortunate situations come up.

Disaster Recovery (DR) provides your business with tools and processes to restore normal operations following a disruption. Think of it as a safety net for when things go wrong. The primary goal of your disaster recovery system is to restore critical business functions as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, we have yet another reason to reflect on the importance of data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity for organizations everywhere. A week ago today, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas, downgrading to a tropical storm, but only after it had already caused estimated damages totaling over $5 million amongst the islands of middle America.

You don’t want to take chances with something as important as your data backup. In the past, businesses would use tape backups performed manually at specific intervals to back up their data to physical drives for storage. However, tape backup has largely become obsolete compared to modern solutions like automated backup and disaster recovery (BDR).

Regarding business data backups, we’ll commonly reference something called the 3-2-1 Backup Rule. Just in case you’ve missed our explanations of these critical best practices in the past, we felt we should go over what it is and what each of its elements accomplishes.

The growth that digital storage has seen over the past several decades is immense. In that time most data has been stored on hard disk drives (HDD). Now with solid-state drives (SSD) being more affordable than ever, it’s no surprise that most computers are preferring this faster and less fragile model. Today, we wanted to highlight that fragility and try to expose some variables that help you tell if your HDD is about to fail.

The one thing about data backup is that it seems like it is pretty simple: You have data, you copy it and store it should something happen to your original. Sure, that’s the basic makeup of a data backup, but if you want a backup you can really rely on, you need it to be faultless. Enter Backup and Disaster Recovery.
