Backup and disaster recovery (BDR) is a combined system that copies your business data on a regular schedule, stores encrypted copies in more than one location, and restores systems quickly after a hardware failure, cyberattack or natural disaster. Backup protects the data itself. Disaster recovery is the plan and technology for getting servers and applications running again, often from the backup device or the cloud while repairs happen. IS&T provides backup and disaster recovery services for Houston businesses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As businesses become increasingly reliant on technology to run their day-to-day operations, more and more business data becomes susceptible to being lost or compromised.\r\n\r\nThe results of a network issue, data loss incident, or cybersecurity attack can be severe to your business\u2019s financial bottom line, the reputation of your company, and the public opinion of your brand.\r\n\r\nMany IT experts agree: it is not a matter of if<\/em> your business will experience a network issue or data loss incident, it is a matter of when<\/em>.\r\n\r\nTo keep your business up and running following an incident such as a hardware failure or cybersecurity attack and to ensure your data is safe no matter what occurs, you must have a reliable backup and data recovery process in place.\r\n
