Will Your Company’s Backups Be There When You Need Them?

Data loss is inevitable. That's the reality organizations face in business today. It can occur unexpectedly due to accidents, security breaches, or environmental factors like lightning strikes. While many companies have backup processes in place, research suggests that IT leaders frequently feel dissatisfied with their current solutions.

Do You Have These Problems With Your Organization's Backups?

Traditional Backups are Inefficient

Organizations typically interact with only 10% of their total files daily, yet many backup solutions copy all files every day. This approach consumes significant time and bandwidth. Even when scheduled for nighttime hours, uploading terabytes of data when only gigabytes have changed represents poor resource allocation.

Backup Problems Are Only Detected When It Is Too Late

Consider a database developer accidentally corrupting production systems through an update. When attempting to restore from backup, the discovered reality proves sobering: the latest database backup may be over a week old. This scenario creates lost revenue potential and demands substantial staff effort to recover.

Limited Support For Microsoft Applications

Losing all Office 365 data—Excel files, company emails, and Exchange calendars—represents a significant business threat. These tools are mission-critical for daily operations. General-purpose backup solutions often struggle with Microsoft data integrity, risking corruption or unusable backups.

Complex Pricing

Technology contracts frequently feature complicated pricing structures requiring months of negotiation. Small organizations with dozens of employees need straightforward agreements with transparent costs easily modeled in spreadsheets.

Time Consuming Backup Process

Managing backup lifecycles demands extensive effort: identifying which data requires protection, executing backups, scheduling operations, and verifying process success. Data quality verification particularly consumes significant time.

The SaaS Dilemma

Organizations face difficult choices between cloud-based storage and on-site infrastructure. Some solutions restrict these options, while legacy technology demands expensive hardware investments with ongoing substantial costs. Flexible providers offer choices empowering businesses to select appropriate solutions.
