Backup is only necessary for large enterprises; SMBs don't need it.Data loss can affect businesses of all sizes, including SMBs. In fact, SMBs are often more vulnerable to data loss due to limited resources and less robust IT infrastructure. Implementing a backup solution is essential for SMBs to protect their critical data, ensure business continuity, and recover from potential data loss incidents.
-
I have an external hard drive for backup, so I'm fully protected.While having an external hard drive is a good start, it's not a foolproof backup solution. Hardware failures, theft, or damage to the external drive can still result in data loss. A comprehensive backup strategy should include offsite storage, such as cloud backup or remote servers, to ensure data redundancy and protection against physical damage or loss.
-
Backup is too expensive for SMBsAffordable backup solutions are available, and the cost is lower than potential losses.
-
How does backup ensure data availability for my SMB?Backup creates duplicate copies of data, ensuring it can be restored in case of loss or system failure, minimising downtime.
-
What is the best backup frequency for my SMB?The backup frequency depends on various factors, including the volume of data changes and the criticality of your business operations. As a general guideline, SMBs should consider daily backups to ensure that recent data changes are protected. However, the specific backup frequency should be tailored to your business needs.
-
Should I choose on-premises or cloud-based backup solutions?The choice between on-premises and cloud-based backup depends on your SMB's specific requirements. On-premises backup solutions provide direct control and physical access to your data but require infrastructure and maintenance. Cloud-based backup offers scalability, accessibility, and offsite data protection, but relies on the security and reliability of the chosen cloud provider.

What is the difference between archiving, retention and backup?Archiving/Retention: It is the process of preserving data for long-term storage and compliance purposes. Archived or retained data is typically stored for extended periods, accessed less frequently, and organised for efficient retrieval. Archiving is commonly used for historical records, compliance, and data analysis. Backup: Backup involves creating duplicate copies of data to ensure its availability in case of data loss, system failures, or disasters. Backup data is retained for shorter periods, readily accessible for restoration, and organized for efficient recovery. It is essential for business continuity and minimising downtime. In summary, archiving/retention focuses on long-term storage and compliance, while backup ensures data availability and recovery in case of emergencies or data loss incidents. Both serve different purposes in data management.

Why do businesses need to backup their email service like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?Backup ensures comprehensive data protection and business continuity. It safeguards against accidental deletions, hardware failures, cyber threats, and user errors, minimizing the risk of data loss. By backing up email and shared drive data, businesses can restore critical messages, attachments, files, and folders, ensuring uninterrupted collaboration and preserving valuable information.
-
Aren't email and shared drive data already backed up by Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?While Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace provide some level of data redundancy, their primary focus is on service availability, not comprehensive backup and recovery. They may not protect against data loss scenarios such as malicious attacks, sync errors, or accidental mass deletion. A dedicated backup solution provides an additional layer of protection, ensuring complete control over data backups and reliable recovery options.
-
Can't I rely on the "Recycle Bin" or "Trash" for email and shared drive recovery?The "Recycle Bin" or "Trash" folders are temporary storage for deleted items, but they have limited retention periods and capacity. Once items are permanently deleted from these folders, they become unrecoverable. Having an independent backup solution enables businesses to extend retention periods, store point-in-time backups, and restore email and shared drive data beyond what the native folders offer.
