Some time ago, a small business owner contacted me for help with a backup and recovery problem. The problem was that his laptop crashed and he needed to get his files back. Although you lost the files on your hard drive, you were smart enough to save an additional copy on your USB stick. After discovering this, I thought to myself: this process should go very well. Well … Things didn’t go well at all.

The problem I ran into was that the software you used to back up your files to your laptop before it crashed didn’t give me access to a very important feature – the option to restore your files that were saved to. an earlier day and time. Due to this, I was not able to recover all the files that I needed to access.

After this incident, I strongly recommended that you consider using a remote backup and recovery service to ensure that you will have access to your files in the event of a future disaster.

While backing up your files on-site is imperative to minimize the risk of loss, having an off-site copy of your files is just as important. Remote backup services can be used for both. This way, when disaster strikes, you have peace of mind knowing that your data is stored off-site and that you can easily access it when you need it.

Here are 7 reasons why you should use remote backup and recovery services for your business:

Reason # 1 You can access your files and data “Anytime, Anywhere” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through a computer with an Internet connection

Reason n. 2 Remote backup and recovery services do not require hardware purchase or software installation on your computer to function

Reason # 3 Remote backup solutions are very inexpensive and cost as little as $ 5.00 a month

Reason n. 4 With remote backup and recovery services, business owners experience less downtime and lost productivity in the event of a hardware failure or virus or site disaster.

Reason # 5 Your data and other information is stored in a different location than your original data

Reason # 6 Remote backup and recovery services work with a variety of hardware, including computers, laptops, and servers

Reason # 7 Remote backup services use 128-448-bit security encryption to encrypt and protect your data

Conclution

It is very important that companies have a data backup and recovery system to protect their information. Remote data backup services can be used as a primary source for data storage or as a secondary source for off-site data storage.

If you are a small business owner looking for a backup solution accessible 24/7, I highly recommend that you implement a remote backup service for your business.
