The decision on which data backup to use can be a difficult one. It isn’t just a simple matter of looking for the best-known or the larger provider. The best data backup is fit for your business!
So, keep your data safe!
“Selecting a reliable backup provider is a big decision. Automated off-site backup is a great solution, in terms of computer or hardware failure, theft, fire, flood or site damage. Don’t go the easy way. Keep your data safe. Avoid placing data backup responsibilities into the hands of your employees. Have a policy in place – this is very important.“
Clive Catton – Octagon Technology CISO and writer of the Smart Thinking Security Blog
Unquestionably, backup is critical and it’s not a decision to be taken lightly!
Here are the most common mistakes companies make when choosing data backup method:
- Not taking into consideration your business needs
- Not taking into account log-term goals
- Buying from a well-known provider without thinking about their service
- Buying an automated backup but not taking into consideration other important aspects
- Spending too much for too little functionality
- Placing data backup responsibilities into the hands of your junior team members
- Not having relevant data backup policies and procedures in place
- Not including staff training and support expenditure in order to save money
