With disaster recovery (DR), we see business owners clinging to ideas that no longer apply. What kind of DR myths are still widely accepted by the masses? Here are three that need to be retired immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tape backups are the best DR solution<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backup tapes are physical objects that deteriorate over time. Don\u2019t believe us? Try listening to a cassette tape from the &#8217;90s. Over time, tape backups become distorted and stop working. Deterioration is slow and may only affect some files in the early stages, so don\u2019t settle for a mere cursory check.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from backups in your office, another set of tape backups needs to be stored outside your premises. In case a natural disaster damages your office, not all your data will be wiped out. But if your storage space isn\u2019t safe from the elements, this could also be a problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike tape backups, a cloud-based backup saves you time. Data is automatically backed up online, and you don\u2019t need to spend time managing boxes of tapes. Your time is better spent on your assigned tasks, not IT management.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The RTO you want will be too expensive<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recovery time objectives (RTO) are essential to any DR plan. You need to get everything up and running again as quickly as possible to avoid serious losses. In the days before the cloud, a swift recovery time could cost you well into six figures. Today, cloud and virtualization solutions have made this much more affordable, and faster than ever before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most DR providers can back up your critical data in an hour or two. And if you ever need to recover it, most services can do so in less than a day. That\u2019s the power of the cloud. And when it comes to DR, it truly has changed everything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Disaster recovery is for big business, not SMBs<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cloud has made this valuable service affordable for businesses of all sizes. From dental offices to small retail operations, SMBs can now take advantage of the best DR solutions on the market. Advances in IT and the cloud have eliminated the obstacles of complexity, costs, and insufficient IT resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope that by dispelling these myths, we\u2019ve convinced you that disaster recovery is more affordable and efficient than ever.
