World Backup Day: Data Backup Is Not an Option, It’s a Necessity

In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, one of the most important tasks for any company is to ensure the protection of its data through regular, secure, and reliable backups.
World Backup Day, celebrated every year on March 31st, is the perfect opportunity to reflect on how critical this practice is for business continuity and organizational resilience.

What’s at risk without a backup?

Data security threats are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. According to the Thales Data Threat Report, 40% of companies experienced at least one malware attack in the past year.
Every month, 1/10 of the worldwide computers is infected with a virus.

To make matters worse, there’s the high cost of downtime.

That’s why backup is no longer just a precaution, it’s a strategic necessity. Integrating it into a business continuity and disaster recovery plan means minimizing downtime and ensuring the survival of critical data in the event of an incident.

Best practices for protecting your data

Here are a few essential measures every organization should consider:

• Define a comprehensive backup strategy: frequent, multiple backups, geographically distributed.
• Use reliable solutions: automated, secure, and compliant systems like Automated cloud backup services (e.g. AWS Backup, Azure Backup, Google Cloud Backup):
• Regularly verify backup integrity: conduct tests to ensure recoverability.
