Cloud Backup | HSM IT Solutions

What is Cloud Backup?

Cloud backup is a service in which the data and applications on a businesses servers are backed up and stored on a remote cloud-based server over the internet. Besides data backup, cloud backup is combined with disaster recovery solutions and may also provide an exact instance of a server, desktop or entire system depending on your businesses requirements.

You’re Not Backing Up Properly Unless You Have Offsite Backups

We all know the important concept of having local or onsite backup. However, there is a critical vulnerability in relying solely on an onsite backup. It runs under the presumption that the local network or area is safe from harm. What happens to your data in the event of ransomware virus encrypting the whole network or a local disaster, be it man-made ( sabotage) or natural (flooding, fire, etc)?

This is where off-site backup becomes an important consideration, the goal of which is placing some or all of your backup data elsewhere out of harm’s way. With traditional office backup solutions, users swap tape drives or external USB drives to keep date offsite on a schedule. However, replying on a staff member to do backup is risky and a pain to remember. Sometime they forgot to swap the media or the offsite media has failed without anyone begin aware.

Automating your offsite backup it is exactly where cloud backup is making a difference. Cloud backup options are available for clients who want a fully automated offsite backup solution providing 100% peace of mind that your critical data is up-to date without changing and taking backup drives offsite every day.
