While it might not be the most glamorous topic, losing critical information—customer records, financial data, intellectual property—can severely disrupt, or even cripple, a business. At Lantek, we specialize in proactive business technology support for organizations, and we consider a robust backup and recovery strategy non-negotiable for resilience.

Let's talk about something that might not be the most glamorous topic, but is absolutely vital to the health and survival of your business: data backups.

It’s World Backup Day! It’s the one day where we bring awareness to the essential process of backing up your organizational and personal data. Let’s go through some of the variables that a comprehensive data backup and recovery plan features to commemorate the “holiday.”

By now, you’ve heard us discuss how data backup is extremely important for every organization. We try to spread awareness of the negative impacts to a business that doesn’t have a comprehensive backup plan in place. Fortunately, data backup has come a long way in the past decade, making it easier, faster, and way more reliable. Let’s take a look at how things have changed in data backup.

Business continuity is a critical element of any organization’s preparations for the future, including how comprehensive the backup is designed to be. Let’s discuss the steps that businesses—especially small ones—need to take to ensure their data is protected.

The demand for digital storage has skyrocketed over time. While hard disk drives (HDDs) once dominated the market, solid-state drives (SSDs) are now becoming more popular thanks to their speed, durability, and increasing affordability.

Technology has enabled us to achieve more than ever before, but with that progress comes higher expectations. Increased productivity demands can sometimes feel overwhelming, making it essential to find effective ways to manage tasks. There's a natural limit to how much we can do, however, and certain obstacles can push us to that limit more quickly. Today, we’ll explore two common productivity pitfalls that many face.

Without technology, your business cannot run the way it needs to. If a disaster strikes, there is no telling how much it could affect operations. For example, a hurricane or a cyberattack could disrupt operations to the point where your business cannot function the way it needs to. Today, we want to highlight some of the ways that a disaster recovery system can help you overcome these hurdles.

Data backup is a crucial part of any business operation, but many employees within an organization might not necessarily know or understand how data backup actually works, or even what gets backed up during the process. Today, we want to demystify how data backup typically works and why it’s important to know what gets backed up, and when.
