Many times we come across news that due to fire or simple human error many companies suffered losses, even the government has lost data through its workers.
There is a way to avoid losing this data. With science and technology advancing day by day it is possible to save these losses. One of the best ways is to have a disaster recovery plan in place. For large businesses it is must required to have a business continuity and disaster recovery plan.
Apart from natural disasters, sometimes there are system failures, hard disk crashes and many other reasons why a company can lose important computer data. They say that “Prevention is better than cure”. To re-create the complete data it would take a long time and is virtually impossible, yet with online backup technology, it can be done in minutes.
Another important advantage of an offsite data backup plan is that you can backup your complete hard drive or some important files and folders. You will be provided with software to backup your data on the server. The software collects the files that you wish to backup, compresses it, encrypts and then the encrypted files are stored on the company’s server at a remote location through the internet. This keeps the data safe and secured. Data backup and disaster recovery is very important for large businesses.
