Managed Backup Service Benefits

There are many benefits when you choose to work with a managed backup provider

.

Most business owners do not know how to backup all of their data themselves. They may specialize in other areas, but data protection is not their specialty.

They may think they have a backup system in place, but are not actively monitoring the backups. In their minds their data is being backed up, but really it is not. Just because someone thinks something is happening, doesn't necessarily mean that it is happening.

When you hire a backup professional, you can be sure that your backups are being completed. This will give you the peace of mind that someone is taking care of it, rather than just hoping the backups are being completed.

Managing a data backup system for your office takes time. You don't set it up one time and then forget about it. If you have a tape backup system, someone has to actually make sure that the backups are being completed. To figure out the cost of this, all you have to do is take the amount of time it takes to change out the tapes on a daily basis then multiply that by their hourly wage.

The people that you have changing out your tapes may not really know what they are doing. They may not properly backup the data or they may accidentally overwrite the backups. There is a lot of room for error with this system.

Another thing to worry about is that when they are taking the backup tapes offsite, they may lose the backup tapes. Or, they may leave the backup tapes in their car and then they get stolen. You may have seen news reports about banks and medical institutions that have lost millions of records because of tapes getting stolen.

Then if a disaster strikes, you are in trouble when you try to recover the data. Or what if you have to recover a version of a file from a year ago and the secretary accidentally deleted it because they over-wrote the tape.

That is why it is important to hire a company to manage the data backups for you.

They can quickly do an assessment of how much data needs to be protected. Then they can deploy a backup system for you and make sure that all of the critical information is backed up locally and backed up safely off-site. This managed backup company can also monitor the backups and make sure they are being completed. Protecting your data is a great investment. Take steps to day to ensure that your data is safe.
