Backup as a Service is designed with security in mind. Organisations that send their data off-site demand the reassurance that it is totally safe. This safety comes from four levels: in transit, in storage, in access control and in system redundancy.

DITCH THE DOWNTIME WITH BACKUP AS A SERVICE (BaaS) & DISASTER RECOVERY

Q: What makes BaaS the best back up technology?

BaaS has many advantages over other backup methods. The first is its resiliency. BaaS providers typically store your data in multiple locations, reducing the risk of data loss in the event of hardware failures or disasters affecting one location. Additionally, technology is always changing and evolving. You have to keep your backup hardware and software current with these changes if you run your own backup system. With BaaS, that becomes the responsibility of your service provider, leaving you to focus on achieving your business goals.

Q: Public Cloud or Private Cloud?

‘The cloud’ is not a single, standardised entity. When storing your critical backup data in the cloud, you need to understand exactly how and where it is being stored. Examples of Public Cloud include GoogleDrive, Dropbox and Onedrive. They are available to everyone but the drawback to this is that the service cannot have customised access to security features. Whereas Private Cloud can be tailored to the specific customer or application. While this is a paid-for service, it offers online storage to businesses under specific agreements with tailored SLAs.

hub

How accessible is the data with your BaaS solution?

A professional tape-based backup system will store its media in a secure, off-site location. That’s safe – but how quickly can you retrieve your media? And how quickly can you find out which media you need to recover? If critical data is not readily accessible, it can lead to operational delays and disruption.

hub

Can the BaaS solution be tested for data recovery without impacting production systems?

Regularly testing a BaaS (Backup as a Service) solution for data recovery without impacting live systems is critical. The process involves mirroring the production set-up using duplicate data to ensure there is no impact on live systems! Frequent testing is important to ensure the ongoing reliability of your BaaS solution.

hub

Do you have the staff or resources necessary to recover data?

BaaS can be provided in three models: self-service, assisted service, or managed service. Self-service is widely favoured and typically the most cost-effective. But is it right for you? Its suitability for your needs requires careful consideration. It's also important to consider whether is training required for staff to effectively use and manage the BaaS solution.

hub

Are there technical barriers to fast data recovery?

How fast is your broadband connection? Keep in mind that when you initiate BaaS, you need to back up the entire volume of data or server image. The data volume is substantial, prompting some service providers to dispatch a portable hard disk for collection. Also, is the BaaS solution compatible with existing infrastructure and applications?

LET'S TACKLE YOUR FAQs

Not all businesses are going to have the same IT infrastructure, but one thing all businesses should have in common, is a robust data backup strategy.

What makes BaaS the best back up technology?

BaaS has certain advantages over other backup methods. The first is its resiliency. With BaaS, your data is storied in multiple locations, reducing the risk of data loss in the event of hardware failures or disasters affecting one location. Additionally, technology is always changing and evolving. You have to keep your backup hardware and software current with these changes if you run your backup system yourself. With BaaS, that becomes the responsibility of your service provider, leaving you to focus on achieving your business goals.

How secure is BaaS?

Backup as a Service is designed with security in mind. Organisations that send their data off-site need to know that it will be safe. This safety comes from four levels: in transit, in storage, in access control and in system redundancy.

Your provider will provide testing to ensure your data is easily recoverable and secure creating mirrors for enhanced security.

Public Cloud or Private Cloud?

We know you need to understand exactly how and where your critical data is being stored and how to access it.

Examples of Public Cloud include GoogleDrive, Dropbox and Onedrive. They are available to everyone but the drawback to this is that the service cannot have customised access to security features.

Whereas Private Cloud can be tailored to the specific customer or application. While this is a paid-for service, it offers online storage to businesses under specific agreements with tailored SLAs.

The type of cloud you go for is dependant on your business needs and requirements but your provider can help you understand these.

How does BaaS and DRaaS benefit IT Departments?

DRaaS and BaaS take a significant burden off your IT Teams.

Say goodbye to late nights handling manual tasks like changing backup tapes and waiting to see if the backup has completed successfully. BaaS reduces the workload on your IT staff by automating backups. They run several times a day without inconveniencing users or interrupting their day-to-day activities meaning more time to focus on what is important to your team and business.
