What is cloud backup?

Cloud backup is a service in which the data on company’s servers are stored and backed up on a remote server. Companies opt to back up their data to the Cloud to keep files and data readily available should they experience a system failure or outage. 

How often should my company schedule cloud backups?

The answer to this question varies. A good practice is to schedule cloud backup at least once a week. If you frequently create files, you need to run backups more often. We advice businesses to use default to "continuous" backup to monitor newly created, moved, modified, and deleted data or files. Continuous backup happens immediately any change is discovered in the Cloud and takes the hassle of scheduling.

How is cloud backup better than the native tools?

Many native tools involve manual processes that are susceptible to human errors. Native tools do not provide deduplication. Most businesses find huge storage savings with Cloud backup deduplication tools, this saves you time and effort. 

How much does cloud backup cost?

You are likely to cut back on operating costs if you use cloud-based services instead of external hard drives or in-house hosting solutions. The cost of Cloud backup services depends on your needs. There are different plans to choose from, but fees tend to be lower than having external hard drives or in-house hosting solutions. 

 What Cloud service is right for me?

If you are storing plenty of data, you should consider focusing on a Cloud solution with options for large amounts of data storage. This way, you're never bothered about how many terabytes you've used or how many you have left.

Can I get a physical copy of my data?

Yes. You have full access to a physical copy that can be taken from the Cloud to a storage device or local server. 

Which files or data can I shift to the Cloud?

In theory, any files or data can be moved over to the Cloud. However, you will have to consider the impact of cloud migration and make sure you meet all regulatory compliances where applicable.
