Disaster Recovery vs Backup: What is the difference?

To ensure this scenario does not play out in your business, you need a robust security solution. Disaster recovery and backups are two key components for this.

Almost 50% of these respondents said their backups were kept on a separate system within the same office, indicating a concerning lack of disaster recovery plans.

In today’s modern world, data is king. In 2017, data toppled oil as the new most valuable commodity. As with any valuable resource, there are always individuals that wish to steal or harm it.
