When a disaster strikes, every minute your team is without data could be costing your business resources, money - and customers! So, when you need to restore data from a backup, a quick data recovery is essential to getting up and running again as quickly as possible.

Most business leaders in KSA are already fully aware of the importance of having a reliable, off-site backup and disaster recovery system. However, choosing the right backup solution can seem tricky, as there's a lot to consider. How much storage space do you really need, for instance? What sort of encryption options do you get? How is access to your data managed? What options are there for managing your users?

What every organization needs is a solution that offers enterprise-grade security and a clear disaster recovery process they can turn to if things go wrong.

Not all cloud backup solutions are made equal. That’s why it’s imperative that you choose a provider who's able to match the technology to the unique goals and conditions of your business. Here are some of the most important things to look out for when researching potential vendors:

#1. Scalability & Storage Capacity

Data storage capacities are increasing all the time, and so is the vast amount of digital data that modern companies need to store and process. Of course, it’s practically impossible to determine exactly how much storage you will need in the future, and it’s just a waste of money to pay for more than you need. For this reason, our cloud pc backup solution - powered by Veeam, Microsoft & Ctelecoms - offers businesses in Saudi Arabia unlimited storage space for all your backups - no matter the size and industry.

#2. Service Uptime

The whole point of moving backup and disaster recovery operations to the cloud is to enjoy unlimited accessibility and service uptime. Cloud PC Backup guarantees an annual uptime of 99.99% and operates around a fully redundant set of storage systems to guard your business against any unplanned failure or disaster.

#3. Security & Compliance

Many business leaders are hesitant about handing over their data to a third party. However, reputable market leaders, such as Veeam, Microsoft & Ctelecoms offer you all the necessary compliance and security measures in place to ensure your data is kept safe. By contrast, implementing such an infrastructure in-house is often prohibitively expensive, and requires ongoing maintenance from expensive contractors. 

#4. Disaster Recovery

There are two extremely important metrics that govern the effectiveness of any cloud backup and disaster recovery strategy: recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO). These metrics refer to the maximum amount of time it should take to restore your backups and the amount of data you can afford to lose, respectively. 

Cloud PC Backup delivers true incremental, SSL protected cloud backup so that only the blocks of files that have changed since the last backup are read and copied, making image-level backups extremely efficient. 

With Cloud PC Backup, recoveries that used to take days (or even weeks) now take only minutes. Lightning fast backup and recovery feature is just the beginning, though.
