Disaster Recovery as a Service

Benefits of Cloud Backup and Restore for Your Business

The amount of data created by businesses continues to increase each day as they tend to broaden their operational scope. Regardless of technological acceptance in business, such as cloud backup and restore, many companies still prefer traditional backup methods such as on-premises servers or local storage. As threats like natural disasters are always around the corner, our data should not be considered safe.

Losing or getting your data corrupted could severely affect the business continuity and lose customer trust. This is why having a cloud backup for your business is not just an option but a necessity. Every business should include it in their disaster recovery plan to instantly retrieve their data and workloads. Let’s look at some of the benefits of Cloud Backup and Recovery for your business.

1. Automated Backup Process

Automated cloud backups function differently from traditional backups, as they do not require manual input or human intervention. You can schedule the frequency and timing of your backups – daily, weekly, or monthly – and rest assured that your data will be securely backed up to the cloud without any omissions. This ensures your data is automatically backed up without disrupting your daily operations and focus.

2. Cost Effective

For business, every single dollar matters. Since you won't need to maintain physical storage, infrastructure, and an expert workforce to monitor, you can save a lot of investments. Also, besides being automated and reliable, cloud backup offers cost-effectiveness, reduced operational costs, and optimized resource consumption.

Apart from that, many managed cloud service providers offer cloud cost optimization and pay-as-you-go models. These offerings will allow you to pay for the only resources you use, reducing the costs significantly.

3. Scalable with Your Business

The requirement for data storage increases with the growth of your business. For instance, a recent startup may require a few hundred GBs of storage space, but the demand may increase to thousands of TBs as the company grows. In the case of local storage, you will have to expand physical space and buy storage devices each time. This is quite an expensive and challenging process.

On the other hand, you can avoid these problems by backing up your data in the cloud. This enables you to increase your storage capacity quickly without significant investments. Additionally, you can swiftly reduce your storage capacity if storage needs decrease.

4. Enhanced Disaster Recovery Capabilities

Due to different circumstances, there is always a threat to our data. It can occur in various forms, such as a natural disaster, flooding, malware attack, forest fire, or human error. In such cases, if you have data on a local storage or server, it cannot be retrieved again. This can halt your business operations, damage the reputation of your business, and cause a loss of customer trust.

By having your data in the cloud, you can protect your data from all the mentioned and unmentioned threats and retrieve your data instantly if any of the disasters happen. This will allow you to maintain your business continuity strategy and keep running your business without interruption.

5. Globally Accessible

One significant advantage of cloud backup services is their global accessibility and the restore process they offer. Regardless of your location, as long as you have an internet connection, you can easily access and restore your data workloads without a hassle. This is highly beneficial for businesses as it allows them to restore their data quickly in the event of a disaster and ensures operations continuity.

Also, unlike the traditional storage methods typically tied to a specific physical location, cloud backup empowers you to access your data anywhere in the world, providing flexibility and convenience.
