Backup and Disaster Recovery Provider: 4 questions business owners and IT decision makers need to consider.
Businesses across the globe need a backup and disaster recovery plan. As ransomware and hacks continue to dominate headlines, organizations small and large, across industries need to have a plan for when their data is corrupted or compromised.
BizTech Magazine recently posted an article outlining the 4 questions and topics every business owner should consider when selecting a backup and business continuity provider.
They include:
- How fast is the storage?
- How easy is it to scale and grow the storage?
- Is there an archival option?
- How does the cloud fit into your storage (backup) plan?
The article also discusses largely the need for data retention as a crucial part of a business continuity plan.
From BizTech:
There are several reasons for organizations to create and follow a data retention policy. First (…) companies need to ensure that important data can be brought back whenever it is lost or deleted.
Second, during a legal challenge or audit, organizations may be required to produce documents or data as evidence.
Finally, with a retention policy in place, IT staff will find it easier to determine which documents can be deleted and when — freeing up space and reducing storage costs as a result.
