No matter how well you maintain your company's computer gear and software, they will all break at some point. You can't foretell how its dysfunction will work in the future.

When the resources that hold data fail, data loss is unavoidable, and it can wipe out your company's earnings in a matter of seconds. As a result, you should always have a backup and disaster recovery solution on hand.

The days of manual backup operations are long gone. Companies now use disaster recovery solutions that are faster, more reliable, and safer. They also use cloud-based architecture to quickly restore data.

In fact, 94 percent of businesses will have experienced a data breach or loss by 2020. This comes as no surprise given the quick move to remote employment and increased reliance on the cloud at the start of the pandemic. Having a backup plan and solutions for dealing with disasters is an important part of the business continuity process, especially given how vulnerable businesses are in today's digital world.

Why are Backup and Disaster Recovery Solutions Important?

• Putting a disaster recovery plan in place
  

It takes more than just writing policies to put a disaster recovery plan into action. The process begins with risk and business impact analysis, which determine where an organization's resources should be directed. The recommendations for implementing risk-mitigation solutions are then implemented.

• Backup-only
  

A reputable managed services provider should, at the absolute least, keep your business functioning with daily backups. Backup-only plans entail a technician storing copies of your files in many locations, including locally, on a portable drive, and in their data centers.

While this may be the simplest short-term solution, it is frequently insufficient as a full-fledged disaster recovery solution. It is preferable to treat this as a secondary alternative backup to add an extra layer of security to your data. It's best to have a backup solution for your whole IT infrastructure, so that if something goes wrong, you can keep running as usual.

Backup Offsite

While storing your data backup on-site helps protect your business data, it is still vulnerable to incidents. Putting it somewhere else adds an extra layer of security and lets you get your data back if it gets lost or stolen.

In such cases, your internal IT team will be in charge of developing, testing, and implementing the offsite storage. Replication, failover, and failback should all be included. While this option provides greater security, some solutions may require days or even weeks to recover from a disaster. This is something to consider when selecting the best backup solution. You'll want your backups restored as soon as possible.
