Organizations today sharing and storing their data online are vulnerable to a wide range of cyber threats. While it may be called the cloud, your data is still stored in physical premises off-location that are just as vulnerable to natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and system failures, which can severely disrupt operations if you are not prepared.

Just this year, market-leading companies like AT&T, Ticketmaster, Dell, Snowflake, and United Healthcare all experienced massive data breaches at the hands of cybercriminals, costing them millions of dollars in financial losses, lawsuits, operating costs, as well as countless hours in downtime.

And as hackers continue lucrative cyberattacks, their tactics will become increasingly sophisticated and harder to predict. 

This is where disaster recovery can play a critical role in your overall security and data protection plan, providing a safety net that ensures business continuity and minimizes the impact of unforeseen events. 

A disaster recovery solution, like SpinBackup, can help you prepare for natural or human-induced disasters by automating regular data backups and providing effective tools for swift system restoration in the case of a crisis.

There are several solution vendors on the market, and below we have listed a few of the most popular to help you find a fit that is right for you and your organization’s needs, while keeping these key factors in mind:

  1. Data backup frequency and retention policies regular, automated backups are essential to a valuable disaster recovery solution, helping to eliminate human error and ensure your back up is up to date when disaster strikes. 
  2. Ease of recovery process A simplified and swift recovery process is key to keeping your business up and running
  3. Storage Compliance with Industry Regulations Multiple data storage locations allow you to store data in specific regions and locations as required by laws such as GDPR or HIPPA
  4. Support for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments redundant data storage options allows you the ability to diversify your backups and decrease your risk of a complete data loss
  5. Scalability and flexibility Make sure your solution can grow with your data
