Have you thought about what would happen to your business in the event of a disaster? A disaster could be in many forms such as your business experiencing data loss, a catastrophic failure, or you and/or your employees are unable to access the business premises.
Many businesses don’t realise just how much data they produce and therefore don’t consider disaster recovery until after an event occurs that brings their business and revenue to a halt. By implementing a Backup and BCDR plan, businesses are able to protect and ensure continuity for their business.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR)
Backup is obviously a critical part of business continuity and disaster recovery. However, on its own, backup leaves businesses susceptible to costly downtime. Why? Because recovering large data sets (such as the contents of an entire server) can be time-consuming. Not to mention the time it takes to procure new hardware if primary systems become inoperable. Meanwhile, productivity grinds to a halt and revenue stops flowing. That’s why businesses need a solution that enables fast restores in addition to backup. For many businesses today, that means BCDR. BCDR solutions use backup, snapshot, virtualization, and the cloud to protect data and enable fast restores.
BCDR software is used to automate and manage backup and recovery processes. After an initial full server backup, BCDR software takes incremental snapshots to create “recovery points,” or point-in-time server images. Recovery points are used to restore primary server data to a specific point in time (i.e., before it failed). They can also be mounted or “virtualized” to recover server operations on a secondary device or in the cloud.
Ample IT BCDR software enables:
- Local and cloud backup
- Local and cloud failover
- Restore capabilities that meet a variety of recovery scenarios
