Why Your Business Needs Backups

As a business owner, your company’s data is likely your most valuable asset. While hardware and software can be replaced, your data is the lifeblood of your organization. Without a robust backup strategy, disruptions from cyber-attacks or natural disasters can severely impact your operations. Partnering with Avodah Tech to manage your backups is one of the best ways to ensure they are performed correctly and reliably, safeguarding your data against any unforeseen disaster.

Managed Backups

At Avodah Tech, Managed Backups provide monitoring to ensure your backups are completed successfully and tested for reliability. This means you can trust that your data is fully backed up and ready to be restored when needed.

Small and medium-sized businesses often rely on a Managed Service Provider for this critical service. With managed backups, we can restore anything from individual files to entire servers, with your data stored both locally and off-site for added protection.

Avodah Tech uses a combination of backup strategies to safeguard your information. Backups are performed at least once a day, with the flexibility to increase frequency as needed. Off-site backups are synced to the cloud in real-time as users save their files, ensuring the latest data is always secure. If required, individual workstations can also be backed up, protecting specific files like desktop and document folder contents.

Deletion & Server Failure

Accidentally deleting or overwriting a file is a common issue, but with reliable backups, important files and applications can be quickly recovered. Avodah Tech’s Managed Backup service ensures that lost data is swiftly restored, giving you access to essential files, folders, and applications as soon as possible.

Hardware failure, including server crashes, can happen at any time. That’s why we back up all critical server information—such as configuration data, user accounts, and storage—so if a server fails, it can be fully restored to its previous operating state.

By partnering with Avodah Tech’s Managed Backup service, you can recover quickly, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity. Plus, having the peace of mind that your data is secure helps you rest easy at night.

Disaster Recovery

A Disaster Recovery Plan is critical for businesses of any size. In the event of server loss due to theft, fire, or a natural disaster, you need a reliable way to restore your systems to working order. New servers must be configured, and all data needs to be restored from secure backups.

Disasters can strike in many forms—cyber-attacks, theft, fire, or natural events like hurricanes. By implementing a consistent backup strategy and utilizing managed backups, your business can continue operating remotely with access to vital data and services in the cloud.

At Avodah Tech, we tailor backup plans to fit your unique workflows, ensuring that your backups align with how your business operates. This customization helps save valuable time during recovery, minimizing downtime and keeping your business moving even in the face of unexpected disruptions.

Cloud Backups

Leveraging cloud services is a great way to reduce downtime if your office loses internet or power. Users can reconnect to their services from another location, such as home or a remote site. However, even cloud data needs to be backed up to prevent potential data loss.

At Avodah Tech, we provide backup solutions for your cloud-stored files and applications, ensuring your data is protected in an off-site cloud location. For example, if your business uses G-Suite or Office 365 for email and document storage, it’s important to note that Google and Microsoft do not offer comprehensive backup plans. This means that if a file or email is accidentally deleted, it may be lost permanently. With a managed backup plan from Avodah Tech, you can recover those files or emails quickly and with ease, keeping your data secure and accessible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Data loss often happens due to hardware failures, human error, software corruption, or virus and malware attacks. The ability to restore applications and files is crucial in preventing disruptions to productivity and minimizing downtime. Being prepared with a reliable restoration solution ensures your business stays up and running smoothly.

  • At Avodah Tech, fully managed means we continuously back up your data using multiple backup methods and restore it if needed. We also store an additional backup off-site, ensuring your data remains safe and secure, even in disaster situations.

  • At Avodah Tech, any data that is critical to your business should be included in your backup strategy. This covers everything from company files and emails to applications, and even files on your employees’ workstations.

  • Off-site and cloud backups serve the same purpose—storing your data in a location separate from where it’s originally housed. This can be accomplished by using a data center or partnering with a cloud storage provider, ensuring your backups are secure and accessible in case of emergencies.

  • Your backup frequency should match your business needs. While many companies opt for daily backups, others require more frequent backups throughout the day. Certain backup methods can instantly create a copy of a file as soon as it’s saved, allowing for data recovery at any point during the day, ensuring your information is always protected.

  • The term RAID is often mistaken for a backup method, but it’s important to clarify that RAID primarily protects data storage from hardware failures rather than providing a true backup solution. If a file becomes corrupted or is accidentally deleted, you cannot recover it from RAID unless it’s also backed up using another method. In summary, RAID should not be considered a substitute for a proper backup solution.
