Other than the innovative jump from tape, data backup hasn\u2019t seen too many great leaps forward, so to speak. Sure, businesses don\u2019t have to worry about resource-intensive manual backups anymore, but the standard approach is so rock-solid that innovation isn\u2019t necessarily needed at this point. Today, we are exploring the backup and disaster recovery process and how modern-day solutions have made an effective tool even better.<\/p>\n

How BDR (Backup and Disaster Recovery) Devices Work<\/h2>\n

Did you know that nearly two out of five small and medium-sized businesses don\u2019t have a backup solution in place?<\/p>\n

This might surprise businesses that fully use their Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) platform. Despite our industry\u2019s best efforts to educate and inform business owners of the importance of such a solution, what do these businesses do when they face a disaster or data loss incident?<\/p>\n

Thankfully, most businesses with a system in place use BDR, and not tape.<\/p>\n

BDR works by taking incremental backups. The solution then pushes a copy to an off-site location, typically a data center or the cloud. With BDR, you can rest easy knowing that your data is fully redundant. You\u2019ll have a copy of your data in the cloud, on-site, and secure in an off-site location for whenever you need to deploy it.<\/p>\n

BDR embraces the redundancy expected in today\u2019s world of cyberattacks, user error, and natural disasters, and your business needs to do the same.<\/p>\n

How Innovation Has Influenced Backup<\/h2>\n

Certain technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, can make data backup more efficient and reliable.<\/p>\n

AI for Data Backup<\/h3>\n

Efficiency is the name of the game with artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Through automation, AI can eliminate human error from your data backup solution. This makes your data backup system significantly more reliable and efficient. With data protection, you can\u2019t take any risks, so this is an important trait to have.<\/p>\n

AI can also help your data solutions integrate with your other business IT systems to improve redundancy further.<\/p>\n

Blockchain for Backup<\/h3>\n

You might know the blockchain from its integration with cryptocurrency, but it\u2019s also helpful for various parts of the backup process.<\/p>\n

The blockchain is an immutable ledger distributed over various systems to ensure the reliability of its data. The data on the blockchain cannot be altered without creating a new node. In essence, this means that the blockchain is a powerful solution for security.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a perfect solution for data backup, but it can ensure that your backups are stored securely and reliably.<\/p>\n
