Have you ever wondered if you have the rightplatform? An effective Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution is essential to virtually every business today, which is why we’ve created an informative infographic that takes a deeper look into what exactly BDR is, how small- and medium-sized business can benefit from it, and what to look for in an ideal BDR solution. Check it out below!
What is BDR?
As defined in ourBackup and Disaster Recovery MSPedia article, BDR isa combination of data backup and disaster recovery solutions that work cohesively to ensure a company’s business continuity.It differs frombackup because it isn’t simply about creating a copy of your most important files. A BDR solution ensures that business operations can continue in the event of hardware failure, data corruption or any natural disaster.
Why SMBs Need BDR
The sad fact is that there’s no way to predict the future. Hard drives malfunction unpredictably, cyber-attacks are on the rise, and natural disasters may strike with little to no warning. To ensure data is secure, it needs to be backed up and quickly recoverable so downtime is minimal when the unforeseeable happens.
An effective BDR solution can provide your clients with the security and reliability they need, and it can help protect them against the many different forms of disaster. Are YOUR Clients ready for an IT disaster? Quiz them!
What to Look for in a BDR Solution
