No matter how hard you try, it is almost impossible to anticipate and prevent all downtime and potentially risky events. Therefore, it is crucial to prepare to restart your business if your systems are infected with viruses or if equipment malfunction has led to the loss or compromise of critical data.
According to statistics, 93% of companies that lost their data for at least 10 days, went bankrupt in less than one year.
On the other hand, 96% of companies that had a valid backup and a business continuity plan were able to recover from a ransomware attack that compromised their data. Magnetic IT Services backup and business continuity services are designed to meet any need.
Our backup service allows you to restore encrypted, deleted, or compromised data from a time prior to an unforeseen event. Thus, there will be no repercussions in case of equipment failures, cyberattacks, power outages, or natural disasters. Backup is done by creating and archiving data backups.
Business continuity is the solution that allows you to restart your business within minutes of a major unforeseen event. This eliminates the risk of losing money or going bankrupt. It involves creating a well-defined data backup strategy and a Disaster Recovery plan.

Over time, the environment of security threats for the IT industry has been constantly evolving, and it has now come to a point where it qualifies as a genuine industry. For instance, when faced with ransomware attacks, fully effective neutralization solutions are still not available. If you do not have a working backup solution, properly configured against ransomware, there is a risk that you will not be able to continue your work. Usually, as soon as the systems are infected, valid company data is encrypted and a significant amount of money is requested in exchange for its restoration.
Significant financial losses can also occur when equipment is damaged or when employees inadvertently delete, lose or corrupt vital data. Therefore, your company should have an efficient, properly configured backup solution and a system to monitor how the backup is actually done.

Depending on the apps and services you are running, there may be several backup options. It can be done for the entire operating system or just for certain data and apps.
You can choose to store your backup data in the same location (Onsite Backup), in another location (Offsite), or in the cloud. The Onsite alternative has the advantage of fast service restoration. However, in the event of a disaster, your data will not be recovered.
It is mandatory to store your data on a device other than the one on which it is initially hosted. Based on the company needs, the costs and the maximum acceptable period during which the systems can remain inaccessible (RTO), there are several solutions: magnetic tapes, hard drives or in the cloud.
It is very important that the backup does not disrupt the business. The backup should run when there is a lower loading of the systems from which the data is copied and when the organization uses the systems as little as possible, so that their performance is not affected. The backup uses additional processing and network resources. That is why we recommend backing up your company data at night or outside business hours.
This is a decision that Magnetic IT Services experts will make, on a case by case basis, depending on your applications and services, as well as on the Recovery Time Objective (RTO), an indicator calculated by us that tells us the maximum acceptable period in which a system may remain down, without causing significant damage to the business.
