Offsite Backup

Backing up data is crucial for several reasons. A power surge or hardware failure could strip your company of all of its data without a backup. Employees can lose an entire day’s worth of work if they don’t back up their data securely, and the loss of productivity can be a significant hit to the company’s profitability. Data security is a top priority for modern companies. As IT developers create new defenses to safeguard data, hackers inevitably find ways to overcome them. This ongoing battle means that any company is a potential target. However, hackers could still potentially access your backups if they’re connected to your network. An external hard drive connects to your computer physically, so those backup files are going to be at risk should something infect your system. Additionally, some viruses can spread to other servers and computers on your company’s internal.
