As seasoned veterans in the modern world, we know that technology quickly becomes obsolete. Not all of us though are set on having the best of the best as soon as it comes out though, are we? Saving money and being an efficient business often means getting the most out of your investment, or getting your 'money's worth'. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary expense, but when you assume your old faithful hard drive will last forever, that's when you risk more than just your finance.


Here is why it is vital for your business and the safety of your information to implement proper backup systems, as well as knowing who to call in case disaster strikes!


What's It Worth To You?


Think about a bank, and how much important data is stored on their computer systems. Imagine that one day those systems simply fail, and the only copies of everyone's transfer details, account balances and customer information was lost. How big an issue would that be? Your first question is, why was this data not backed up?

Fewer companies than you might think actually realise the importance of having regular data backups by professionals that can prevent failure taking a fatal toll on your business. Imagine all the information that your business depends on, located on one hard drive or network. Is it worth risking huge amounts of money plus your reputation because of theft, damage or failure? You cannot put a price on knowing your data is safe.


Restoration


Thankfully, there are experts in the field ready to take care of the IT side once you realise the risk you're taking with your data. They have specially developed and tailored backup and recovery systems to suit your needs and to make sure you can rest easy knowing your data is safe and sound.


In the event of a server crash or lost data, they can restore all the information that was on the system since the last backup was performed. These can even be as regular as every fifteen minutes. It's incredible to think that you could have thousands of pounds of information lost, and you could get it all back in a matter of minutes. Even your backup hard drive isn't invincible, and the cost of trying to restore data on a malfunctioning or damaged piece of hardware is renowned for breaking the bank.


These companies don't just do fail-safe backups though, which brings us onto our next section, and some more safety solutions available. Click here to research this more.


More than Copy & Paste


So now your dream of bullet-proof data protection has been realised, it's time for the same safety for your server. One of the largest causes of IT callouts in many industries is due to server failures or issues. These can cost companies literally thousands because of lost information, but mostly because of lost time. No staff can save work, or access the files and system that they need to.

By getting in touch with the experts you can make sure that not only is your data backed up and easy to recover, but also gives you access to the experts' own backup system which acts like your server too, even when yours is down. This means that when your next crash happens, the backup server kicks in before you know it. You can still work, save information and access your 'network' as normal. While you're keeping up the efficient work and losing time is kept to an absolute minimum, backup and recovery specialists are dealing with any issues or ordering parts you need from their external location. This allows them to maintain and monitor the system from their location, meaning there are no hours, days and weeks of lost productivity. Just instant help when you need it most.


Conclusion


Your information is priceless. Whether you're a multi-million organisation or a new budding business looking towards the horizon, nothing is more important than your data. The safety of your servers is instrumental in running a tight ship, and one of the most worthwhile and under-utilised investments in the IT industry. Keeping your data safe with backups and recovery plans lets you rest assured, knowing that should that worst happen, you're in safe hands. No doubt your customers will be glad to hear it too…
