Why Data Backup and Disaster Recovery is a Digital Safety Net.

What do Data Backup and Disaster Recovery imply? Effective knowledge in the Difference

Although these terms are frequently interchangeably, Data Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) refer to two different, yet equally essential processes that cooperate and collaborate as your online security system.

• Data Backup: It is the operation of making up to date and redundant copies of your important files and information. Picture it to be a duplicate of all your valuable papers in terms of carbon copying. These copies will be safely stored in another place where there is generally a secure cloud environment, not at your main office. Backup deals with the exact copying of the information in case the original is corrupted, damaged, or lost, a copy of the information will always remain available as it was stored recently.
• Disaster Recovery (DR): This is the action plan– a combined strategy and steps on how to utilize the backup copies in a bid to normalize your IT systems within the shortest time possible after a disastrous incident to allow the business to continue operating. DR specifies major indicators such as your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) or how quickly you can get back online and your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) or how much data you can risk losing. DR removes the problem of not knowing how to proceed on what to do to restore your business up and running without much downtime, the moment the calamity hits your team.

When you contract a dedicated Managed Service Provider (MSP) such as WORIX IT SOLUTION, you don’t get the copies (backup); you get the tried and tested, professional laid down plan (recovery) so that you can make them work.

 High-Cost of-Waiting: Why a Plan is money-saving and reputation-saving

A professional backup solution is not considered by many small and medium-sized firms as a necessary insurance, and more as a cost. But non-preparation will be even more expensive.

Reducing Financial Wastage

Each minute that your systems go off you are losing your money, losing sales and losing customer confidence. Downtime taking over a few hours is disastrous to some businesses. An effective DR plan saves you an overwhelming amount of time getting back to business and will help avoid the loss of revenue crippling your business.

Defense Against Cybercrimes

The current ransomware attacks solely attack companies and look to encrypt all your information and ask them to pay an astronomical amount to take it off. Using the reliable and remote data backup of WORIX IT SOLUTION, just wipe the infected computer and retrieve your clean data and save not only the ransom money, but also the costs of the damaged system down the line.

Regulatory Compliance

Numerous industries, such as healthcare or finance, include strict rules, such as HIPAA or GDPR, that make businesses take care of client information, including ensuring its presence and introducing effective recovery steps. An expertly handled DR plan will see to it that you are in line with all these compliance requirements, without having to pay off huge legal fines and penalties.

Maintaining Customer Trust

Both a data disaster that encompasses the information about the customers such as a crash of the server that slows down order fulfillment, or a data disaster may bring down your company image permanently. Customers are operating on the premise that you are able to secure their data and have to provide service at all times. Rapid recovery with smoothness ensures they have confidence and also satisfies the customers.

 WORIX IT SOLUTION: Bulletproof Recovery Strategy Build

WORIX IT SOLUTION focuses on guaranteeing assurance of unknowns that it converts the fear of the unknown into confidence by means of proactive IT management. Our Backup and Disaster Recovery service is a service and a complete solution, which is reliable and fully managed by us.

The main items included in our managed DR service

• Automated and Continuous Backups: This is a system that will automatically generate frequent backups of all your servers, databases and other important files without the involvement of your staff at all. This consistency also implies that your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) will be minimized so you will only lose a little data even in the worst case scenario.
• Protected Data Holding (The 3-2-1 Rule): We follow the international principle of data security: at least three copies of your data, on two types of mediums, and one of them is off-site (in cloud). This geographic spread ensures that your data is not destroyed by physical catastrophes such as fire or flood that may destroy storage locally. Our backup system is securely stored in the cloud hence access at any location.
• Complete System Image Backups: We do not merely copy files but take complete images of the system, that is, the state of the whole server together with the operating system, applications, settings, and data. During a disaster, this makes it possible to have a Bare Metal Restore (BMR), a way of restoring your entire system in new hardware very quickly.
• Planned Recovery Testing: A plan is of no use unless it has been tried. WORIX IT SOLUTION conducts non-disruptive testing on your recovery process on a regular basis. We ensure that your backup data is good and that we can provide your agreed-upon RTO. This is to ensure that the plan is fine when an actual crisis occurs.
• DRaaS: In case of mission critical systems we can have DRaaS. This is a very powerful solution, which provides the use of cloud-based technology to not only store your information, but to provide virtual versions of your systems. During a large failure, we can quickly shift to the cloud and your staff can connect to their desktop and applications remotely and keep working as the physical problem at your office is repaired. This will ensure that there are zero system downtimes.

When you go with WORIX IT SOLUTION, you will have a group of qualified IT people who will be protecting your future. You no longer have to bear the complicated weight of data security and recovery planning, and can be free to dwell entirely on your long-term business strategy and growth knowing that you have utterly safeguarded the most valuable asset.
