Innovations to Backup Systems Changing the Way Businesses Protect Their Data

Innovations to Backup Systems Changing the Way Businesses Protect Their Data

Data backup may not be at the forefront of your business’ technology list, but it needs to be a consideration. Like much of the technology we use for our businesses, backup is going through a lot of positive innovations at the moment. Let’s take a look at five things that are going to change the look of enterprise data redundancy.

Hybrid Backups

The combination of on-premise and cloud-based backups allow the quick recovery times that come with on-premise backups and the steel-trap offsite protection that the cloud provides. Our BDR solution is a form of hybrid backup with the layered redundancy that will protect your business regardless of the situation.

Granular Recovery Options

The ability to recover specific files without restoring an entire system is crucial for minimizing downtime; especially nowadays where so much data is flowing in and out of business networks. Today’s backup solutions offer more granular recovery options, allowing businesses to restore individual files, emails, or databases. This reduces recovery time and minimizes business disruption.

AI Integration

AI and machine learning are being increasingly used to optimize backup processes.These technologies help in predicting failures, identifying priority data, and even working to automate recovery when something does happen. These innovations can also detect anomalies that could indicate high-end malware attacks or ransomware.

Immutable Backups

An immutable backup is a backup that cannot be altered or deleted. This is particularly important in protecting against ransomware attacks. Advances in immutable storage now allow for more efficient and cost-effective implementation. Cloud providers now are starting to offer immutable storage options that ensure data integrity over the long haul.

Automated Backup Testing

Obviously, working backups protect businesses, while ones that are there but don’t work can completely devastate an organization. Regular testing of backups is essential to ensure they can be relied upon in case of a disaster. Automated testing tools now allow for more frequent and thorough backup tests. These tools simulate disaster scenarios and automatically validate the integrity and recoverability of backups.

Innovation is a big part of business technology and in the realm of backup and recovery, new innovations can reduce manpower and make these systems more useful to your business. To learn more about our BDR and other data backup and storage solutions, give us a call today at (866) 546-1004.
