Liquid Web is participating in World Backup Day to help businesses stay online and protected from potential disasters. It’s important to ask yourself if your business has backups for important data, how often they are taken, who manages them, and if they have been tested to work properly. A backup is a copy of data stored locally, remotely, or in the cloud and can range from simple thumb drives to complex daily copies of databases. Backups are essential for protection against data breaches, loss, hardware failure, and cyber attacks.
According to Thales Group, 21% of IT management have experienced a ransomware attack, and 56% ranked malware as the leading attack vector. The importance of backups for business continuity cannot be overstated, which is why World Backup Day was created to raise awareness about data protection.
Liquid Web encourages businesses to take the pledge and backup data by March 31st. There are several ways to create better backups, such as prioritizing crucial data, automating backups, choosing the right tools like Acronis Cyber Backups, having multiple backups, and testing backups often.
Liquid Web offers Acronis Cyber Backups which provides off-server backup storage, ransomware and malware protection, near-zero impact on server resources, and fully encrypted backups.
