Business Continuity

The cornerstone of business continuity is relentless data backup. Common backup ‘bad practices’ seriously jeopardize even the most thoughtfully designed business continuity program, including the three described below. JDL offers backup and recovery in the cloud, to ensure your data is always available to you.

Not Testing Backups

If you never actually try to restore a file, app, or server, you’ll won’t know if your data will be available when you need it. It’s very common to neglect, short-cut, or dilute testing to save time. In fact, 34% of companies don’t test their backups. Of those businesses that do test their backups, approximately 77% find failures. Even if you use an automated program that creating your backups—testing is still necessary.

Not Prioritizing Backups

Much like software patching, backing up your data is one of those tasks you know is crucial and yet often seems to be overridden by more urgent IT demands. Not performing regular backups is one of the most common mistakes we see—and yet it is the cornerstone of any business continuity program and disaster recovery program.

Not Monitoring Logs

Creating backups can be a time-consuming, boring process which may involve staring at a computer screen while enjoying the soothing sound of continuous whirring. The tendency is to turn away from those logs to work on something more interesting—and that’s where disaster lurks.
