A wide variety of backup, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions are now available that offer SMBs enterprise class solutions at affordable prices. They are easier to manage, more reliable and can save your company from costly downtime. Business continuity solutions are changing the way we think about backups and understanding the differences will help you choose the right solution.

Traditional Backups

• Average tape failure rate of 41-72% when recovering data
• Slow backup speed
• Difficult to verify backups will actually work
• Expensive to copy and store
• Limited encryption capabilities
• Can take hours, days or even weeks to recover lost data
• Prone to human error
• Only sequential data access is available
• Potential for theft or loss of media

Business Continuity

• Eliminates downtime through near-instant failover
• Restoration of specific files or applications through a remote web interface
• Multiple redundant backups both on- and offsite
• Very low risk of data corruption of backup failure
• Fully automated backup process
• Granular and Exchange Recovery Options
• Off-site storage in secure SAS 70 Type II data centers

Unlike conventional backups, a true business continuity solution will keep your business running, no matter what. View it as an insurance policy. You insure your hardware and your premises, so why wouldn’t you insure your most valuable asset - your data? The cost of loss data and the associated downtime is extremely expensive and can cripple your company.
