Managed backup and recovery services
Discover how backup and recovery services provide two very important components of any layered data protection strategy.
Organisations today demand continuous application availability with an infrastructure that can rapidly recover from disasters.
Although the causes of an outage can vary, the desired solution is often the same – you need to be able to recover your data, applications, and systems quickly to restore access to services.
The impact on your organisation can be severe, which is why backup and disaster recovery services should focus on the ability to restore operations to their previous level as quickly as possible with minimal data loss.
What are managed backup and recovery services?
Managed backup and recovery services provide critical solutions to help protect your organisation’s data and services from data loss caused by threats including accidental or malicious deletion, system failure, and cyber attacks.

Challenges of managing backup and recovery internally
While organisations can choose to operate their backup and recovery services internally, this approach can present numerous challenges depending on your resources, budgets, and internal skills.
Resource intensive:
setting up and maintaining an in-house backup and recovery system is time consuming and requires specialist skilled IT resources
High costs:
data storage can be expensive, particularly in regard to expanding storage capacities or upgrading hardware
Limited expertise:
some organisations don’t have the expertise in-house to manage complex backup and recovery tasks, resulting in added expense for hiring and training staff or data loss incidents due to inexperience
Compliance risks:
many organisations must comply with guidance and governance for backup and data protection, with failure to comply resulting in fines and reputational damage

Managed backup and recovery services FAQs:
Managed backup and recovery services are critical components of a comprehensive cyber security strategy, but they do not replace the need for other cyber security measures. While backups help ensure you can restore your data after an incident, other security measures are necessary to prevent breaches and protect against various cyber threats including data encryption.
The frequency of backups depends on various factors, including the type of data, business requirements, and risk tolerance. Regular backups, adherence to best practices, and testing procedures are essential to safeguard your data effectively.
