Why setting up a dedicated backup & DR infrastructure is important

In a world, filled with uncertainty, you can never be too careful. With so many cyber-attacks and breaches backing up your data seems a right approach. But are you backing up your data properly? Do you have a dedicated purpose-built DR backup? If yes, then you are good to go, if not, then we may have some bad news for you as you are at risk of data loss.

Common Misconception about backups

It is very common for people and businesses nowadays to mix cloud storage and cloud backup. Many believe that by having a cloud storage, it automatically means having a cloud backup as well, in the same infrastructure.

Using your storage server as a backup server or putting your backups on a server that’s actually built for storage, not backup, will not get the job done for you. If your data is important to you then don’t cheap out.

This is not a backup solution and not recommended. Simply storing snapshots or using replication does not equate to a purpose built backup and disaster recovery solution. In order to gain maximum protection for your data, get a separate, dedicated backup and DR appliance.

Benefits of a dedicated backup & DR Infrastructure

Having a dedicated backup and disaster recovery appliance can do wonders for a company in terms of backing up their data. It can actually protect your data from any cyber-attacks and disasters so that, in the event of one, you can easily restore your data in a matter of minutes and continue operations.

This makes sure that there is little to none downtime and helps a business or company to achieve business continuity like never before.
