WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS MANAGED BACKUPS

The data in your firm is vital, and having proper backups is an essential component of keeping it safe. When calamity strikes, whether it's a hardware failure or a cyber attack, your organization will grind to a standstill unless you have the necessary strategies and data backups in place. One of the greatest methods to ensure that your organization has secure and reliable access to its data when the unexpected happens is to use managed backup solutions supplied by a managed service provider (MSP).

WHAT IS A MANAGED BACKUP?

A managed backup is a sort of monitoring that is used to check that your company's backups are accurate. For this service, a small to medium business would typically engage with a managed service provider. Managed backups can also be used as a disaster recovery site, enabling you to restore your data and documents in case that your data is compromised.

We use a series of daily backup completion and weekly system checks as part of our managed backup services at Advanced Computers to ensure that all of your servers boot up effectively in a virtual environment. Depending on your organization's needs, we also provide a few different types of managed backups. These are some of them:

• A server backup device that is installed on-site and subsequently backed up to a cloud data center
• Cloud backup, which backs up all of your data and documents from a cloud service like Microsoft Office 365 to a remote location that is not connected to Microsoft servers.
• Backups for remote users, where files are backed up locally to a cloud site from the remote user's laptop or PC.

WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS MANAGED BACKUPS

Internal backup management is not only difficult and time-consuming, but it may also be costly. You'll need technical professionals on your team who understand the complexities of proper backups and who have the time to keep a keen eye on these systems 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Because most small and midsize enterprises lack these resources, they will frequently employ the services of a trustworthy IT partner for managed backup services.

When it comes to managed backups, these are just a few ways that an MSP can help your business.

DISASTER RECOVERY

Any company's IT planning should include disaster recovery. If your devices or servers have been attacked with ransomware, the first step is to take them offline and disinfect them. Then, from a backup, you'll need to restore your data and applications. That is why it is vital to have enough backups in place.

It's crucial to remember that ransomware and cyber attacks aren't the only threats to your IT infrastructure. Your equipment, servers, and data might be harmed by fire, natural disasters, or even vandalism. When managed backups are included in your disaster recovery and business continuity strategy, your organization may work remotely and access data and apps in the cloud, independent of the state of your physical facility.

At Advanced Computers we understand the ins and outs of the backup system, making the data recovery process go more smoothly. This saves you time, which is a huge plus when you're stuck.

DELETION

Accidental data deletion is one of the most prevalent problems Advanced Computers encounters as a managed backup solutions provider. Businesses can restore essential files or applications that they have erased but still need access to thanks to our adequate backups.

SERVER FAILURES

When a server fails, it may be necessary to entirely rebuild it and restore it from a backup. Though this is a rare occurrence, it occurs frequently enough that enterprises should consider it when evaluating backup options. As your MSP, we will be able to restore the organization to where it was prior to the system breakdown using managed backup solutions.

Even if your company needs to purchase new equipment to replace the server, you'll be able to use the onsite backup equipment you've set up. Working with a managed backup service provider gives you the advantage of being able to immediately recover while minimizing downtime and lost productivity.

BACKUPS IN THE CLOUD

If your company relies on cloud-based technology to run its operations, you'll still need a backup solution to prevent data loss. Your MSP will back up any files, data, or apps you have in the cloud to an off-site cloud location as part of your managed backup services.

Let's imagine you utilize Microsoft Office 365 for sending and receiving email, as well as creating, saving, and sharing documents on SharePoint and OneDrive. Microsoft does not have a backup system in place, therefore there is no way to restore data if there is a problem with the system or if someone on your team deletes files by accident. You will, however, be able to access this information if you have a managed backup in place.
