In this world of digitalization, everything is based on data. Today, there is a huge amount of data to be stored and protected by businesses. And hence, data protection still remains a challenge for small and medium businesses.
Customer data is considered to be one of the most important assets of companies. With the huge accumulation of data comes the responsibility of preserving it for the future. According to a recent study conducted by Spiceworks, 45% of the companies have experienced loss of data and approximately 14% of companies could never retrieve their lost data.
So, to solve this challenge of data restoration and protection came the concept of backing up all your data in the cloud. Today, we’re highlighting the 5 biggest advantages of cloud back up.
1. Affordable
Small and medium-sized businesses do not necessarily have a huge amount allocated for IT. So it stands out to be of utmost importance to have a solution that is easy to use and is not too expensive. You can back up all your customer data in the cloud by just spending a few hundred dollars.
2. Anytime, anywhere access
One of the major advantages of cloud backup is its accessibility. You can easily access your customer data from anywhere at any time. All you need is just an internet connection or a smartphone app. It relieves you from the need of carrying a laptop or rushing to the office to fetch your important files.
3. Off-site
We generally keep our data saved on hard drives and backups but there is always a possibility of that data being destroyed due to a natural calamity, or the data being tampered or destroyed due to a fire break out, Storing your data on the cloud relieves you from the worries of losing your data because a cloud backup ensures the safety of your data no matter what.
4. Simple
Cloud backups have made the task of restoring and backing up of files very simple. Just a few clicks of the mouse and you can easily find and backup your data.
5. Automatic
This is another great advantage of cloud backup as with automatic backups, you do not need to give extra time to back up your data. It continually and automatically gets backed up in the background while you use your computer or laptop normally.
