Why Business Owners Need Backup And Recovery
According to the statistics compiled by bostoncomputing.net, 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster. Furthermore, the same article goes on to list that every week 140,000 hard disks crash in the United States. Your data also faces other hazards such as accidental deletion, theft, ransomware, natural disasters, etc. Therefore, it is critical for all businesses to have reliable data backup and recovery.
You may be surprised to know that having your folders synced with Google Drive or Dropbox doesn’t constitute a backup. Cloud syncing services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. are tools for online collaboration and they are designed for selectively syncing folders. So, such cloud syncing services cannot be called cloud backup services since they do not protect all your data and system files.
As a business owner, you need a backup and recovery software with comprehensive backup and functionality that can get your business back up and running in case of a disaster such as loss of data, system, or application.

Data Backup And Recovery Strategy
The most widely used data backup strategy is the one recommended by US-CERT (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team) in their Data Backup Options publication.
It recommends the 3-2-1 strategy of data backup, which is an industry best practice. In this strategy, you keep 3 copies of your data, 2 copies on different storage media, and 1 copy kept off-site.
Storing your data on multiple media and locations protects your data from a broad spectrum of disasters. It ensures that there is no single point of failure. If there is a device failure on one storage media, you can recover using a different media. The off-site copy safeguards against loss of location, while the on-site copy gives you the data recovery speed to get your business back up and running quickly.
