Data backup and recovery should be a safety net for businesses, but for many, it has become a source of frustration, complexity and risk. The numbers tell a clear story - backup inefficiencies are rising, IT teams are overburdened and security vulnerabilities remain widespread.
Backup involves copying data in an IT system to another location so it can be recovered if the original data is lost. That loss can be due to hardware failure, cyber attack such as ransomware, natural disaster, or human error, such as accidental deletion.
