Help Businesses Stay Safe From COVID-19 with Disaster Recovery

The threat of COVID-19 has impacted the world tremendously within the last few months and it has no plans of disappearing anytime soon. As many attempt to fight the virus, the new normal has forced businesses to shift gears and evaluate their current business plans. With this comes the contemplation of whether or not a company has implemented a strong disaster recovery plan. Disaster is not limited to physical harm on a company but also virtual disaster. The easiest way to prevent disaster from occurring and businesses from being compromised is to have a strong data backup plan. As many businesses continue their transition to a work-from-home environment, it is important to evaluate how data backup and disaster recovery can be utilized to ensure information is stored securely.

As times change, your data and data backup must change with it. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when preparing your data for a change in environment:

Dealing With Disruption: First, it is important to accept and understand that your workload will be altered due to the virus. While handling this change of pace may not be easy, it is important to ensure that your data stays on track with the changes your business makes. Respond to this disruption by holding your data as accountable as you would yourself in a disastrous situation. Data will be your greatest partner and asset during this transition.

Back Up Your Data: In order to ensure that work continues to get done on time, it is imperative that you back up your data so no important information gets lost in transition or translation. Prior to sending information out, ensure that you have multiple copies backed up on your machine. We recommend using an efficient backup software, like Syncrify, to manage and maintain these backups.

Triple Check: Once you have implemented a proper backup solution, double and even triple check the backups before leaving the office or your home. Regardless of how diligently you manage your data, there is no harm in checking again and again to ensure that the backup has not been interrupted, files have not been corrupted, or a backup fails. For additional security, Syncrify implements a multi-tier backup system that significantly boosts performance while keeping data stored safely.

Syncrify is a private-cloud backup software allowing multiple customer machines to backup folders/files to a central repository within its own enterprise. The comprehensive, multi-platform data protection solution provides 100% security and allows customers to access their files from anywhere at any time.Geared toward a multi-user environment, Syncrify is well suited for situations where source and destination are far apart, like across the Internet. This program allows for files to be accessed from anywhere at any time using a web browser. Syncrify’s backup repository also allows for users to not only backup their data but also share files among colleagues while avoiding any third-party interruption.
