In its current form, Artificial Intelligence is a bit like a highly gifted but incredibly literal intern. If you don’t provide a crystal-clear roadmap, it will happily lead you down a “digital rabbit hole,” burning through your team’s billable hours and patience.
The concept of backups isn’t new. A lot of people have a spare key, and the idea of a spare tire is pretty universally known. While either example could easily make or break someone’s day, the stakes are exponentially higher when business data is involved. This is why a comprehensive business continuity plan—including a disaster recovery strategy, complete with backup readiness—is essential.
A backup does not truly exist until you have successfully restored from it. This is the hard truth of information technology. Many business owners and internal teams rely on the green checkmark in their software dashboard to signify safety. However, that status light can be misleading, masking deep-seated issues that only appear when a crisis begins.
Disruptions, from natural disasters to cyberattacks, can hit any business. A strong business continuity plan (BCP) is essential to protect your company, employees, and customers. It’s an investment that helps you handle the unexpected and get back on your feet quickly. Here are the key dos and don’ts for building your plan.
Think of a good data backup system as insurance for your digital assets. You hope you never need it, but you’ll be incredibly grateful it’s there if something goes wrong. This month, we’re going to explore the three key parts of any up-to-date data backup system and how we can use the newest technology to make backing up your data as smooth and easy as possible.
