What Are The Biggest Benefits of Cloud Backups?

What Are The Biggest Benefits of Cloud Backups?
Posted: 12th June 2024

Cloud backups bring essential security to your business. If ever called for, they allow you to scroll back through archives as far as year dot, and in the event of an IT catastrophe, protect your data which could ultimately save your business. 

What is The Cloud?

Although we may point to the sky when referring to The Cloud, it’s not floating in the atmosphere. In reality, it’s a vast network of servers spread around the globe; if a facility breaks down, there’s always a failsafe in place. 

There are countless benefits to Cloud backups; we’ve broken it down to just 5 of the biggest: 

#1 Cloud Backups Could Save You Money 

With Cloud backups you will need zero infrastructure investment; in terms of hardware, your computer network is all you need. The backup process (and recovery process if ever necessary) is a simple download that can be performed from anywhere. This avoids a huge spend on additional equipment. 

#2 Keep It Safe 

Although not invincible, because nothing is, Cloud backups bring one very appealing benefit: security. With cyber security a huge priority for all businesses, it helps to know your critical files are protected and Cloud backups can alleviate more risks than financially or practically possible for most businesses.

#3 Once It’s Done, It’s Done 

Once you’re using Cloud Backups, it becomes an automated process. Your company’s data will sync at a set time every day (or hour, or week). You and your team can beaver away, safe in the knowledge that your backups are running to a schedule and you don’t have to worry about them. 

#4 Fast Recovery 

Unlike the good ol’ days of the tape backup, Cloud backups give you extremely fast recovery times. From single file recovery to full bare metal restores; if the unthinkable happens, you can be up in no time. It’s good to know that should the worst happen; you have the best solution.  

#5 Develop Your Business 

If you have an in-house IT engineer or team, being able to rely on The Cloud for your backups will free up their time to focus on IT development and other beneficial projects that will help grow your business. Their involvement in backups will be reduced to little-to-none.
