Backup and Recovery
Every day your business generates critical data, which must be protected to ensure your business can continue to function on a
daily basis. A simple error or system failure can result in this data being lost, which can cost your business hundreds or even
thousands to replace or in the worst-case scenario, it could be irreplaceable! To ensure you are adequately protected your data
must be backed up using the following criteria:
- Regularly
- Securely
- Stored Off-site
- Instantly Retrievable
‘Last year, one third of all UK businesses had a security incident that involved loss of data (excluding viruses).’
