Backups can sometimes come across as a complicated concept to wrap your head around. But here’s the most important thing that you need to know about them.
  • Do you know the recovery time associated with getting your business up and running in an event such as a disaster, fire, or flood?
  • Can you remember the last time you did a full Disaster Recovery test?
  • Are you able to go back in time to see what took place during a certain time or an exact date, let’s say 6 months ago?
These are some of the basic questions about backups that you should be able to answer. What if an angry employee started a fire to your premise or a major flood had your entire company under water? If either of these scenarios were to come to life, do you know what would happen to your data. Is it gone forever? Are you up and running in 2 weeks or 2 days? Would the amount of downtime significantly affect your business, or would it barely leave a dent in your pocket?
