Backup & Data Recovery

There is a growing reliance on backup and recovery services for all business sizes. Next to employees, data is probably their most valuable asset, which is why it needs to be protected so carefully. Any number of incidents can cause data loss – from viruses to system failures to lost backup tapes – businesses need reliable backup and recovery solutions. At Internet Security Services Group, we offer specialized backup and recovery solutions. This means that you can stop worrying about storing your data and leave that job up to us.

Why backup and recovery is important

Backing up your files or drives means you that are making copies of them in case of a security event resulting in data loss. In such a case, information that has been backed up can be recovered. However, if you are not backing up your information, it cannot be recovered.

The purpose of backing up your files and drives is to ensure no data loss. But, you also want backup to be fast, safe, and efficient. Offsite and local backup options are good. Local backup means that your backup files or tapes will be stored locally. However, what if a fire runs through your office? In that case, it’s good to have offsite backup too.

At Internet Security Services Group, we provide real-time backup and recovery services. Your information will be backed up regularly, and in the case of a security event or system failure, data recovery will take place. We offer both local and offsite data backup solutions that are efficient, so they don’t impact productivity or network speed. Any IT administrator will be able to operate our user-friendly system without trouble.

Tape versus disk backup and recovery

A few years ago, tape backup was the most common method. However, demand for high-speed backup has resulted in disk-based backup and recovery becoming the method of choice. If you are still using tape backup systems, you should consider switching to disk-based backup.

Tape backup is unreliable, and for small businesses, disk backup (or continuous data protection – CDP) is a much better option. More and more businesses are ditching tape backup because it is time-consuming, expensive, and the tapes may become obsolete quickly, making recovery difficult. Furthermore, tape backup is unreliable and prone to degradation based on the environment in which they are stored and human error. Plus, unless you have a dedicated person to take the tapes offsite each night, you run the risk of losing them to theft or fire, for example.

Plus, tape backup requires an administrator to set aside time to manually backup the files, which is a very slow process. And, if they are not stored in a secure location, such as a safety deposit box, you haven’t really protected your data at all.
