Backups are necessary for your business, here's why!

As the reliance on cloud computing and digital data needs increases, the chances of a cyber attack and system failure also get high. In order to prevent your business from a total compromise, you need to have a backup service in place. 

You can use a cloud provider such as Azure IaaS UAE for storing the backup data. 



On-premises Backup Support 

A majority of businesses store their critical data on privately owned servers that are present inside the building. If a calamity occurs and the on-site servers are compromised, there's no way to retrieve the data. 

Therefore, cloud backups replicate the data backup on a cloud service. The cloud service provider can have it's server located anywhere in the world, out of the harmful reach of hackers. 

This way, even if your on-site servers go bust, you always have a reliable copy to fallback to.

Cloud Backups are Fast

At the enterprise level, a ton of data is generated every day. This can go into Terabytes every day, which is hard to backup locally. Cloud backup solutions are incredibly fast and almost instantly backup all your data. 

This means, you don't have to compromise on the amount of data that's being backed up, and there's no absolutely no downtime involved, when the data is being backed up. 

Cloud Backups are Secure

Cloud Service providers employ serious security measures to protect your data. It's exceedingly hard to break into a cloud service provider's security firewall and steal your data. 

Therefore, storing your cloud backup data on the cloud helps you attribute the responsibility of your data to safe hands. Having a local backup of your data can mean hackers still can access it remotely, leading to exploitation. 

In almost all ransomware attacks, the system contained data is heavily encrypted, making it futile to decrypt it again. If you have a cloud backup, you can easily switch over to the last backup, and revive your operation with minimum damage. 

Consider Azure Data Backup services Dubai for safeguarding your business from serious threats.
