Having a proper backup plan in place is crucial to recover your vital information in case of a data disaster.

There are two primary types of backups; a file level backup and an image level backup.

Let’s break them down and discover which one is best for your company.

file level backup will backup only the files on your computer. This type of backup isn’t going to come in handy if you require a full restore of your operating system. It is in place to save and backup documents only, not applications. File level backups are not ideal if you have a complex network – it would take a very long time to get your configurations and programs back up and functioning properly as they were previously. Your company would experience prolonged downtime which would ultimately hurt your bottom line.

An image level backup takes a virtual snapshot of your entire operating system. All of your documents, programs, application, permissions, and OS configurations are easily accessible and restorable. This type of backup can be restored to the same device, to another functioning device, or to a virtual machine. If you work in a server environment, having an image level backup in place is best practice for getting your company back up and running with little downtime should a disaster occur.

 

In our opinion, an image level backup is the best option. Every aspect of your network is captured and can easily be restored in the case of an emergency. Companies experience little downtime, allowing them to continue their day-to-day business operations. 

 

If you are currently relying on USB's or external drives to back up your company’s critical data, financials, and client information you are at high risk to lose your data.

From tax records to client information, your data is essential in running your business. When it is lost because of an unanticipated natural disaster or even worse, it is stolen, you need to make sure you can recover that data so your business can continue to operate and grow.
