Safeguard your data in a calamity situation: Off-site backup systems were chosen by businesses to assure data protection in the event of a regional natural or man-made disaster. As the off-site backup is not co-located with the original data and system, it will be unaffected even if the building where the production system is housed is destroyed by fire, flood, tornado, hurricane, or another natural disaster.

Cyber-security: Your production data and on-site backups may be affected if your company is the victim of a malicious attack, such as ransomware. Off-site backups are safe from hackers and can be utilized to restore your systems to their pre-ransomware configuration.

Save resources and money: Maintaining an on-premises (local) or off-site server backup is more expensive than backing up to a public cloud. The cloud removes the need for your company to buy and maintain software and hardware, as well as the difficulty in obtaining approval for a capital purchase. Instead, you can pay a monthly subscription charge that counts as an operational expense.

Data access from anywhere: You can access your backup data from anywhere, at any time, if you have an internet connection. While restoring a full backup from the cloud takes time, downloading a few files from the cloud is quick and simple.

Better data security: Cloud hosting providers follow best practices in the case of security. However, many opt for cloud data backup because most small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) lack the financial resources to engage cyber security professionals.

Scalability: Cloud services can be scaled up and down as needed by your company. While there is a possibility to increase your subscription cost, you will not need to acquire any more hardware or software.
