Advantages of Data Backup and Recovery

If you’re a business owner, it’s likely that you’ve spent a lot of time building your proprietary data. It doesn’t matter whether it’s due to cyber hacks or disasters, losing this crucial data could mean disgruntled customers, lost revenue and even bankruptcy for your organisation. 

With this in mind, we would like to highlight some of the advantages of backing up your data and implementing an effective recovery plan, specifically through an outsourced cloud-based backup system. 

1. Ensures a speedy recovery

If disaster does strike, having a backup system in place will give you instant peace of mind. At ICT Solutions, our UK cloud-based backup service will have you up and running in no time as our systems will restore your data straight from the cloud and onto your servers if something goes wrong. This ensures speedy recovery and less disruption to your services.

2. Protects your reputation

Although it depends on the nature of your field, downtime can massively affect your organisation’s reputation. If you experience any data issues, it’s unlikely that your stakeholders will even notice that any problems have occurred if you have a fast and effective backup plan in place.

3. Can reduce overall costs

Having a backup system means that you won’t have to pay for expensive emergency data recovery services if the worst happens. Another perk of cloud-based backup systems is that by storing your important data off-site, you will save time and money on physical server maintenance if this was another route you were considering.

4. Helps save time

Ultimately, you will save time in the long run by having such a system in place. With 30% of businesses losing data every year due to outages, there’s a high chance you will have to spend time dealing with a data issue at some point in the near future. This would not only waste your organisation’s time and resources, but also affect your business output.

5. Compliance standards are maintained

By collecting and preserving important data through regular backup processes, your business can be more agile when responding to requests from legal departments, data protection officers or auditors.
