3 signs you should invest in disaster recovery

Backing up your business data offsite is important as if your internal systems were to crash or experience a fault then your data could be lost. By holding your data offsite (in the Cloud) it is securely stored and backed up.

Cloud backup is important as no matter where you are you will be able to access your data
through any computing device as long as you have access to the internet. Do the below points relate to your business? If so then it may be time for you to speak to us about implementing a disaster recovery and continuity plan.

1.    Your system outages have become common

Regardless of the IT system you currently use disruptions can occur and this is likely to delay productivity for your organisation. Smaller problems can be just as damaging as larger scale problems (natural disasters).

2.    You do not have a contingency plan in place

We have found many of our clients do not have any type of disaster recovery plan in place. This has proven to be a problem for companies as a continuity strategy is not in place. Retrieving their data after a failure will be a lengthy and difficult task.

3.    Your disaster recovery plan has not altered in 10 years

Small businesses may not update their existing disaster recovery strategy and this is likely to cause problems for the business. Technology is continuously changing and updating so it is important for you to review your existing disaster recovery and continuity plan on a regular basis to ensure it is up-to-date.
