🔒 58% of data backups fail. Is your business at risk? 🔒
As the Director of Operations at Bondgate IT, I’ve seen too many businesses relying solely on backups to protect their valuable data. But here’s the hard truth: backups alone are pointless. Yes, they preserve your data, but they don’t guarantee a quick recovery after a disaster. That’s where BCDR (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) steps in to save the day!
💼 Data Loss Cost: An Expensive Reality 💼
Data loss can be financially devastating. Small and medium-sized businesses, even giants like Amazon, have suffered millions in lost revenue due to outages. On average, a data breach in the US costs $9.44 million, while a ransomware attack can set you back $4.54 million. It’s not just about the money; data loss damages customer trust and can lead to compliance fines, legal fees, and more.
🔑 The Secret to BCDR Success 🔑
BCDR is the missing piece to ensure your business stays afloat during tough times. Here’s what you need:
Backup with Purpose: A Key to Business Continuity
Ensuring the continuity of your business operations is vital, especially in today’s digital landscape where data loss and downtime can be costly. That’s why having an effective backup strategy is essential.
RTO & RPO: Minimising Recovery Time and Data Loss
Two critical metrics in the world of backup and recovery are RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective). RTO measures how quickly you can get back up and running after an incident, while RPO indicates how much data loss is acceptable.
Striking the right balance between these two metrics is crucial for seamless business continuity. Only 52% of companies can recover from severe data loss within 12 hours.
Proactive Planning: Testing and Preparedness
To ensure the success of your backup and recovery strategy, proactive planning is key. Regularly testing your backups, ensuring compatibility with your infrastructure, and having clear communication plans in place can make all the difference when disaster strikes.
BCDR: Your Safety Net
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) is your safety net in times of crisis. Having a well-thought-out BCDR plan ensures that your business can quickly recover from unexpected events and minimize the impact on operations.
