- Backup is a critical business system. Have the right backup solution in place can keep your business running when a disaster strikes. Here are five quick tips.
- Offsite backup is just as important as onsite backups. Make sure the vendor you chose for backing up your data also backs up your data to the cloud.
- Backup your data multiple times a day. Hourly backups are ideal.
