Whether it\u2019s installing security systems to keep your office safe or purchasing business insurance policies to guard against potential financial damages, you know how important it is to prepare for the unexpected. However, as your business becomes increasingly reliant on technology, are you adequately protecting one of your most important assets \u2013 your data? For many businesses the answer to this question is no, even if they think they\u2019ve got a reliable data protection plan in place. This is because in today\u2019s world, traditional backup methods are not enough.<\/p><p>Between increasing cyber threats and natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods, businesses that are not utilizing offsite data backup storage as a key part of their disaster recovery plan run the risk of experiencing potentially devastating effects of data loss and business downtime.

Traditional backup methods, such as physical hard drives or backups on a local server, may provide peace of mind for business owners, however they pale in comparison to the security of offsite backups for more serious data loss incidents. This is because local backups can be wiped out with one corrupted file or rendered ineffective if something like a natural disaster destroys the local physical equipment on which the data is stored.<\/p><p>With offsite data backups, your business\u2019s information is backed up and synced to a server that is in a secure location. Most often, offsite backup locations are not in the same area as the original server. The data is encrypted to ensure additional protection and is stored until it\u2019s needed for restoration. Usually, offsite data backup services offer continual incremental backups so that multiple restore points are available in the event of a data loss incident.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9aec84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a9aec84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OffsiteDataBackupStorageAndDisasterRecovery1_IST.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1324\" alt=\"Data Backup Offsite Server Room\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OffsiteDataBackupStorageAndDisasterRecovery1_IST.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OffsiteDataBackupStorageAndDisasterRecovery1_IST-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OffsiteDataBackupStorageAndDisasterRecovery1_IST-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df7e3a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df7e3a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the benefits of offsite data backup? \n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccbdaff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ccbdaff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When it comes to backing up your data, choosing to do so offsite provides a variety of benefits. The first and most important is that offsite backups provide a more secure and reliable form of security against data loss. However, in addition to this added security, offsite data backups provide other benefits, such as:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Increased Primary Disk Space\/Physical Server Storage \u2013<\/strong> By using an offsite location as your main disaster recovery storage location, you can save space on your primary disk space (if you\u2019re hosting with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/managed-it-services-houston-tx\">managed services provider<\/a>) server and ultimately cut costs on physical equipment (if you\u2019re backing up to a physical server.)<\/li><li><strong>Protect Against Total System Damage \u2013<\/strong> If something were to collapse your entire system, such as a natural disaster or extreme cybersecurity incident, offsite data backups can help quickly and easily get your systems online and data restored.<\/li><li><strong>Protect Against Hard Drive Failure \u2013<\/strong> Physical and external hard drives are popular backup methods, however they are not fail-safe. Hard drives can become irreparably damaged, resulting in data loss. However, offsite data storage centers are designed to be as ironclad as possible, eliminating this fear of hard drive failure.<\/li><li><strong>Minimize Downtime After Data Loss Incident \u2013<\/strong> If your business suffers a data loss incident, such as a cybersecurity breach or natural disaster, the downtime to your business can be the most devastating part. With offsite data backups, disaster recovery can be much quicker, ensuring less downtime for your business overall.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a business owner, you prioritize protecting your business in many ways.
