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.

Having a backup is always a smart idea, but it is essential to remember that there are different levels of backup that a business can implement. It’s one thing to be protected against a server crash; it’s quite another to be protected against a disaster that destroys your servers, as well as those of every business within a five-block radius. While local backups serve a purpose, they cannot be the only thing you rely on. Real resilience means looking elsewhere to achieve redundancy.

Today is World Backup Day! Let’s tell you why it is important to set up a reliable backup for your business.

Imagine waking up one day and finding your phone completely wiped—no contacts, no photos, no texts. Feels like a nightmare, right? Now, picture that happening to an entire business. All the files, data, and systems—gone. Scary stuff. That’s exactly why businesses need a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan. It’s like having a safety net to help you get back on your feet when things go sideways. Here’s how to build one.

The recent CrowdStrike outage that disrupted many Microsoft-run systems has made headlines, even if it didn’t affect you directly. With so many organizations relying on Windows, this incident caused an unprecedented number of computer crashes, impacting over 8.5 million systems worldwide. The outage didn’t just cost businesses billions in lost revenue—it also led to the cancellation of 3,000 flights, throwing travel plans into chaos. As the largest outage in history, it served as a stark reminder that the technology we depend on daily isn’t foolproof. Today, we’ll explore key takeaways from the CrowdStrike outage and how businesses can better prepare for such events.

Unfortunately, we have yet another reason to reflect on the importance of data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity for organizations everywhere.

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).

IT professionals have all but proclaimed the tape backup system, which dominated the data backup space for decades, to be all but dead. This declaration may have been premature however. Over the past several years, there has been a resurgence in companies that use tape backup. This week, we will go into why businesses are willingly utilizing what can only be described as an antiquated technology for their system redundancy.

We are of the firm belief that data backup is crucial to the continued success of any business. It can be the differentiating factor for a business that is successful and one that less unfortunate circumstances knock them off the grid for good. You can invest in your business’ future with a solid data backup solution, even if it’s there simply as a preventative measure.
