The Importance of a Data Recovery Strategy
A system failure could quickly cripple your business without warning. Learn about the importance of a data recovery strategy.
What is data recovery?
Data recovery involves a restoration of your systems and records from a digital backup, either in the form of a secure cloud backup or media tape.
When your system goes down, digital backups ensure that you can quickly rebound and minimise downtime.
Why do I need a data recovery strategy?
When your systems go down, your business grinds to a halt.
Whether it be a system failure, cyberattack, or natural disaster, an outage can occur at any time without warning, and can completely cripple your business.
Instituting a data recovery strategy early will mean that if anything goes wrong, you can take immediate action to restore your systems and ensure business continuity.
How does data recovery work?
Implementing a data recovery plan is a simple, effective way to protect your information and keep your business running no matter what.
At TIMG, we offer two primary backup methods:
1. Cloud Backup
By maintaining a reliable cloud backup, all your data will be held in secure off-site servers, ready for restoration with a moment’s notice in the event of an outage.
Our cloud backup solution runs automatically in the background, freeing your staff to focus on other work with the confidence that all company data is protected. With multiple layers of protection such as dual NZ-based data replication, premium encryption, and our highly-secure processes, we can guarantee the safety and security of your backups.
Near-continuous replication of your digital infrastructure means that a recent backup is always ready to be deployed, and this can be accomplished with ease and speed through our online portal.
2. Media Tape Backup
For those organisations seeking the ultimate in reliability and data security solutions, physical backup tapes ensure that your recovery media can never be compromised.
Held in our purpose-built vaults, backup tapes benefit from the complete security of TIMG’s facilities while also allowing for urgent retrieval and 24/7 monitoring via our online portal.
Which backup method is right for my business?
No two organisations are the same, which is why we build tailored backup solutions to suit businesses of any size, industry, and complexity.
For complete security and peace of mind, we recommend an integrated approach which combines both cloud and media tape backups, but ultimately the decision is yours.
