Backups
Know your important data is safe and can be restored when needed.
Backups are copies of your data that are saved in a secure location, so you can recover them if the original files are lost, damaged, or stolen. Businesses use backups to protect important information—like documents, emails, and system settings—from unexpected events such as hardware failure, cyberattacks, or accidental deletion.
There are different types of backups:
- Onsite backups (e.g., external hard drives or servers in your office)
- Cloud backups (stored securely online and accessible from anywhere)
Why backups matter: Without regular backups, a simple IT issue could lead to permanent data loss, costly downtime, or even business closure. Backups ensure your business can recover quickly and keep running smoothly.
