Replacing the floppy, flashy and hard... backup devices!

The O Team • 29 November 2023

Protect your data, protect your business.

There are numerous ways that your important data can be lost or compromised. It’s vital that businesses plan ahead and put data backup systems into place before a worst-case scenario is realised.


Having a data backup and recovery plan in place will protect your organisation from the most common data loss cases, including hardware failures, human error, natural disasters, and ransomware attacks.


The most common causes of data loss are hardware/system failure (31%), human error (29%), and malware/ransomware (29%).

Secure backup solutions you can count on

 

A backup system creates copies of files or entire systems and stores them in a safe location. These backups can then be used to restore your systems to an earlier point in time, facilitating quick recovery from an unexpected data loss event.


Storing a copy of your data on a separate, secure medium is necessary to prevent corruption or loss. Decades ago, backups were often made to tape drives, and later on USB flash drives or removable hard disks.


Now, the standard method of backup negates the need for floppy (remember those?!), flash and hard drives, instead it involves storage on a secure cloud platform. This means your backups are kept safe in a remote location, usually in a data center that’s miles away from your physical hardware. Remote backup storage is an important consideration when protecting your data from localised dangers like natural disasters.
