Why backup is critical to IT disaster recovery

Would an IT disaster be the end of your business?

When disaster strikes – be it a software, hardware or operator error – it's vital that a business gets back on its feet as soon as possible. Downtime can mean loss of money, data, productivity and opportunities, which could be devastating to a new or small business.

Managed IT services provider Flexsys believes the right kind of backup is an invaluable investment, as this guide explains. A reliable IT disaster recovery solution could protect data, minimise downtime, and therefore could be key to your survival.

Flexsys has now developed Flexstore, an innovative disaster recovery solution backed by twenty years of work in IT. In a staged virtual machine, a system restore job is created and updated with minute changes throughout the day. You can therefore rest assured that if an IT disaster should occur, your server will reboot and restore the most recent version of your data.

Hardware Independent Restore is another benefit of Flexstore, as it means you can choose how to restore data from your virtual backup. If you need to make repairs to the hardware, you can keep the data in the virtual environment for the time being, or restore it to a different server to continue working.

This flexible offsite backup has many benefits for forward-thinking businesses. It can take just moments to recover crucial files or folders, even to dissimilar hardware or in a virtual environment. Even if there are terabytes of data on your server, you can run a complete IT disaster recovery and be up and running again in a matter of minutes or hours. Best of all, it gives you complete peace of mind, by guaranteeing that an IT crisis doesn't spell disaster for your business.
