Technological innovation can be exciting, but one topic that is decidedly unsexy with technology is data backup—at least, from an excitement point of view. More businesses are demanding greater data security and redundancy, which is in turn forcing developers to innovate and create better products that can give consumers and enterprises what they need. Let’s look at three of the more interesting features of these up-and-coming data backup solutions.
The presence of a continuity strategy holds immense significance. When discussing continuity plans, one often encounters the term “failover.” Let’s take a look into the concept of failover and explore various facets associated with it.
Today’s businesses need a data backup, and just copying over data to another place every so often isn’t enough.

Data backup is a critical part of any successful business, and, because it’s so simple, it may actually be overlooked.

While nobody likes to imagine the worst-case scenario, we always like to say that imaging the worst-case scenario can help you prepare for it, and it can take the sting away from dealing with it.
You may have seen us use the term “redundant” on this blog often, and if you are not necessarily familiar with how it might be used in the context of business technology, we understand how you could misconstrue the word in a negative light. However, redundancy is one of the most important concepts to understand in business technology, and it’s key to your business’ continued success.
One of the most important solutions for a small business to implement is a data backup and disaster recovery system.

Your business is not unique in the sense that it stores and transmits data during its day-to-day routines.
