New York, NY – March 31, 2014 — /BackupReview.info/ — BUMI (Backup My Info!), the premium provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, urges businesses to prepare and test their backup and recovery processes in celebration of World Backup Day today. Performing a recovery check is an often overlooked yet critical component of any ongoing backup process that BUMI wants to call attention to. This important step allows organizations to make adjustments to their backup strategy in order to be absolutely certain that the information and applications needed to run their business will be accessible after a technical failure or physical disaster.
An independent study that BUMI conducted in December 2013 surveyed IT consultants regarding their data backup and recovery tools, initiatives and concerns, revealed that 39 percent of respondents did not believe their clients are properly prepared for a large-scale disaster or outage. Thirteen percent of clients never check for backup errors and eight percent did so annually.
“Many businesses invest resources in their backup operations but don’t test the viability of their data recovery processes as frequently, making them vulnerable when an outage occurs,” said Jennifer Walzer, BUMI’s CEO. “Performing regular disaster recovery drills along with checking backup sets will ensure that businesses are safeguarding all of their data and putting them in the best position to overcome adversity if or when something goes wrong.”
According to BUMI, World Backup Day offers a global call to action to check data backup and restoration processes, and recommends the following advice:
“World Backup Day offers an important reminder to not only think about your business-critical data needs, but also an overall disaster recovery plan that includes internal and external communications with employees and customers,” added Walzer. “Our corporate office was impacted by Hurricane Sandy but our planning enabled us to quickly switch over to alternative resources and operate flawlessly during the three months we worked remotely while the building was repaired.”
