Kevin Casey of InformationWeek said there are more options than ever for businesses to have a data backup solution, but he wonders why many small- to mid-sized businesses haven't yet taken to backing up their information.
When looking into a data backup program, small businesses need to figure out what data they need to be available immediately and which data can be brought back later without a hassle, according to ReadWriteWeb's website.
With outages happening with multiple cloud services, including Google's Gmail and Microsoft Office 365, users should use cloud backup to help save their information in case of a prolonged outage.
According to Andrea Eldridge, CEO of Nerds on CAll, an on-site computer and home theater set up and repair company in California, server backup is the better route for backing up information.
According to Greg Muscarella, senior director of product management for Symantec's Information Management Group, on CMSWire's website, using a data backup solution is one of three things every company should do about managing corporate information.
