Would you get in a car without putting your seatbelt on? Or take a hot tray out the oven without using oven gloves? No, then why are you continuing to create data, without having it correctly backed up? TechTarget conducted a survey for 2024, that questioned technology decision-makers on how they’re going to be investing their money. We were not surprised at all to see that over the next 12 months, there was an overwhelming amount of people investing in disaster recovery, with ransomware protection following shortly after. In fact, when ranked, the top five choices were all related to data protection.

Furthermore, 18% of people when questioned also said that they would be investing in backup-as-a-service (BaaS), we here at Backup Systems are not only a developer of said disaster recovery software, but are also the ONLY UK developer to do so. Having to source BaaS from outside of the UK can come with it’s problems, different time zones mean you can often be without a response for hours. Backup Systems is the solution, we are able to give quick and efficient response times, eliminating the worry of not getting the help you need when you need it.

The evidence is clear, 2024 is looking to be a year in which people are stepping up on protecting their data, which is why we can’t stress enough how important it is that you get your data protected. There’s no doubt a strong percentage of people reading this will not have the correct measures in place, if something was to go wrong, so why are you carrying on unprotected? We’ve shown above that people are taking their data seriously, so it’s about time you did too, because no one wants to be the guy who lost their job, because they caused a company outage that lost their boss all of their data.

Maybe you think you’re already protected, but did you know that the majority of services you use, don’t actively backup your data? That’s right, any of Microsoft 365 services don’t actively backup your data. You can’t just get in contact with Microsoft because a ransomware has eradicated your data, they aren’t backing up your Outlook, or your SharePoint, you’ll be left to figure it out yourself. Having to explain to your boss that you’ve lost their entire infrastructure,  because you didn’t correctly source a third-party backup, isn’t a pleasant experience, nor is being unemployed due to negligence.
