Backup And Disaster Recovery Services In Connecticut

In today's data-driven economy, it is critical for businesses to ensure that their data is secure and easily recoverable in the event of a disaster. According to the National Archives and Records Administration, 93% of businesses that suffer data loss and downtime for 10 days or more file for bankruptcy within 12 months. 1 It is simple to see why businesses should back up their data. In this blog post, we will talk about backup and disaster recovery services in Connecticut.


What Is the Importance of Data Backup and Recovery?


In the event of a disaster, avoiding major data losses and minimizing downtime should be top priorities for any company. Having a dependable data backup system and disaster recovery plan in place are critical steps toward achieving those goals and establishing critical safeguards to protect your company and its data.


A solid disaster recovery plan ensures that your company can resume operations as soon as possible after a major data loss. It is a step-by-step plan for ensuring business continuity in the event of a disaster that destroys all or part of your company's resources, such as IT equipment, data records, the corporate network, or a database.


Why Is Data Backup and Recovery Necessary?


Because most sensitive data and information is stored virtually on computers or the internet, there is a clear need for data backup and recovery in modern business practices and environments. Without a successful backup plan, businesses risk losing their data, which can be extremely costly or dangerous for any size organization. A successful data backup and recovery strategy may be able to prevent a catastrophic data leak or loss.


The Advantages of a Disaster Recovery Plan Cost Effectiveness


Disaster recovery planning frequently necessitates the use of more innovative hardware and software, which can save businesses money in the long run. Costs can be reduced even further if your company chooses cloud-based data management over local storage and management.


Increased Employee Productivity 


Having a disaster recovery plan can make employees more productive, which is an unexpected but important benefit. For a disaster recovery plan to work, different people must be cross-trained and able to do the same important tasks. No interruptions or extended downtime will result from vacation days, sick leaves, or resignations.


Customer Retention - 


Today's clients expect consistency, dependability, and near-instant gratification. They are less forgiving of mistakes and downtime. Clients will quickly switch to a different company if a company doesn't meet their needs or if their work is interrupted for a long time. Having a backup and data recovery plan in place makes sure that if something goes wrong with your IT, your business won't be hurt in a way that can't be fixed. Reducing the risk of data loss and downtime allows you to keep your customers.

Cybersecurity Insurance: Why Every Business Needs It

By dsutcliffe • April 11, 2025
In today's digital world, cyberattacks are no longer a "what if" —they're a "when." No matter the size of your business or industry, cyberattacks pose a real and growing risk. From data breaches and ransomware attacks to phishing scams and system outages, the cost of a cyber incident can be devastating. This is where cybersecurity insurance becomes critical. A well-structured policy can mean the difference between a swift recovery and financial ruin. However, many companies make the mistake of only reviewing their policy after an attack happens—when it’s already too late. Businesses must proactively review and revise their coverage before an incident occurs to stay ahead of rising threats, evolving regulations, and increasing costs.
