Losing access to your business\u2019s data \u2013 even temporarily \u2013 is a nightmare worthy of a horror movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data backup tools create copies of your data and store them in a safe place. If something goes wrong, recovery tools will use these copies to restore your lost files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if your business already uses backup and recovery tools, you\u2019d think your data is safe\u2026 but this isn\u2019t necessarily true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report shows that some backup tools aren\u2019t always as reliable as they should be. In fact, a third of all data losses are caused by backup-related issues. When people try to recover data, they discover it\u2019s been lost or corrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just corrupted backups that you should be aware of.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest threats to businesses right now is ransomware. This is a type of malicious software (or “malware”) that locks you out of your files unless you pay a ransom to regain access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report found that half of businesses using backup tools still ended up paying ransoms to retrieve their files, because it was faster than trying to use their own recovery tools. Even worse? Only a small number of businesses that paid ransoms were able to fully recover their data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backup tools are supposed to keep your data safe, so why are they unreliable for so many businesses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, it\u2019s because they haven\u2019t been set up properly. And even when they are, they still need to be verified regularly to make sure they are still backing up your files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, older backup and recovery tools can\u2019t always keep up with today\u2019s sophisticated cyber attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up and maintaining a reliable backup system can be complicated. IT experts (like us) can make sure your tools are running correctly every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also put in place extra safeguards such as continuous data protection (CDP). This constantly saves changes to your files, allowing you to go back in time and restore your data as it was just before an attack or loss. This is something we do for businesses like yours every day. If you\u2019d like us to help you too, get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
