Good backups are critical for business continuity. According to the University of Texas, 94% of companies suffering from a catastrophic data loss do not survive \u2013 43% never\u00a0reopen, and 51% close within two years. Without backups, data loss is inevitable.<\/p>

Need more justification for backup?<\/p>

  1. We\u2019re dealing with exponential data growth. From 2010 to 2020, the amount of data in the world increased from 1.2 trillion gigabytes (1,200 exabytes) to 59 trillion gigabytes (5,900 exabytes). Many organizations need to back up petabytes of data.<\/li>
  2. Organizations spread their data across the world. For example, 43% of organizations are routinely\u00a0moving an average of 126 terabytes\u00a0from remote offices or the edge to internally managed data centers.<\/li>
  3. Almost every organization of any size uses a mix of hybrid, multicloud, and multi-site on-premises infrastructure; indeed, Gartner reports that 85% of organizations are cloud first.<\/li>
  4. Backups are broken. According to Veeam, 14% of all data is never backed up and 58% of recoveries fail\u2014leaving business data unprotected and irretrievable in the event of an outage or attack.<\/li>
  5. Threats to data integrity and data access are a normal part of doing business: 64% of global companies have experienced at least one form of cyberattack.<\/li>
  6. Cost overruns are normal: 42% of organizations went over their cloud budgets at the end of 2020, with one third saying they did so by 20\u201340%.<\/li><\/ol>

    \u00a0Choosing cloud for backup<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>

    Some organizations have their data spread across several hundred devices that are scattered over a few continents. Backing that data up to a single on-premises tape library or disk storage device simply won\u2019t work. The addition of extra backup platforms within data centers may provide more versatility, but inefficiencies, complexities, and costs can arise over time as demands for more storage capacity, longer backup windows, and added features cause organizations to invest more and more money in what ultimately becomes legacy architecture.<\/p>

    Employing a cloud-first strategy is one way forward, as cloud storage is especially well suited for backup. More and more organizations are deciding to decommission their on-premises tape-based backup in favor of the cloud.<\/p>
