DATABASE BACKUP
Effortless protection of all your data and devices for home and business
WHAT IS DATABASE BACKUP?
Database backup is the process of creating a copy of a company’s master and transaction data files.
As consumers, we need extra supplies when our typical resources aren’t usable. For instance, in case of a blackout, one would want candles, flashlights, and canned goods.
Similarly, a database backup is a copy of key data you can access in case of a cyberattack, natural disaster, accidental deletion, or other threat.
WHY DO YOU NEED DATABASE BACKUP?
Hybrid cloud flexibility
Protect your structured data and database workloads with active on-premises backup and secondary copies in the cloud to avoid unwanted potential disruptions.
Seamless Scale
As data grows,backups need to continue without interruption or slowing down, and companies should look for vendors that provide seamless scale.
Security and compliance
Companies need to ensure they can protect structured data with encryption in flight and at rest.
Hassle-free management
Simple self-service management is key for database and IT admins to work more effectively. A BaaS – or cloud-based solution for database backup can deliver on this simplicity – with no-hassle deployment, no backup infrastructure to manage, automatic updates.
Ransomware recovery readiness
AI-enabled monitoring for abnormalities in data patterns can provide early warning for ransomware attack, while air gapped database backup infrastructure and backup copies can enable recovery.
Tight integration
Integration with these bigger, faster, more complex database workloads is critical today. Database administrators can take advantage of the power of Application Programming Interface (API) from a database backup solution to perform backup and restores from the database interface.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF DATABASE BACKUP?
No one is immune to data threats. In addition to power interruptions, equipment failures, and other non-purposeful events, it’s important to remember the threat of cyberattacks. Cybercriminals are bent on getting or corrupting your data and making you pay to fix it. They’re clever and persistent.
According to an article by Fortune Magazine, “the world saw an alarming 105% surge in ransomware cyberattacks last year.” Such attacks try to shut down a business’s computer systems, holding the data for ransom by offering to “fix” the problem for a fee. The need for an effective database backup and recovery solution is more important than ever.
Consider these database backup benefits:
- Inexpensive insurance against business interruptions.
- Ability to restore missing or corrupted data.
- Security against cyberattacks.
- Bottom line protection.
- Peace of mind.
