What A Managed Backup Solution Could Look Like For Your Business
Thinking of using a managed backup solution for the data servers or workstations at your business, but not sure what it can provide? Here is an idea of what it could look like for you.
Dashboard Overview
Do you ever want to pull statistics on your data management, but it would involve making spreadsheets on your own and entering data? All of that information can be provided to you in a dashboard overview. You'll be able to see how much data you are generating, when it is being backed up, and which cloud storage facilities the data is going to. There will no longer be time wasted digging for answers when it comes to how much data your company is creating.
User Management
Do you have multiple users that need to access to your data backups but need to maintain security to ensure the right people have access to it? Your backup solution should have the ability to log user activity when accessing data that has been backed up, and it should let you see if people are accessing data that they should not be looking at.
Automatic Recovery
If you have a workstation that goes down and needs to be restored, you are well aware of the work involved in order to get that workstation up and running again. Since the data backup is done automatically, you can restore a workstation to a previous state and know exactly when it was backed up and how much data was potentially lost. You won't have to manually do this process since all the information is provided in your dashboard.
Scheduling And Bandwidth Throttling
One of the challenges of doing manual backups is that you often start them and the process starts running at full speed immediately. This can be challenging when you want to do backups during working hours, but the backup ends up bogging down computers, internal networks, and broadband upload connections. Thankfully, a managed solution lets you schedule when the backups happen and even throttle how much bandwidth is being used.
Remote Access
Moving to a managed solution for data backups means that a lot of the functions can be accessed from the cloud. This gives you more control to do things while you are out of the office since your software is not limited to being used on a computer connected to your local network. This will give you more flexibility than ever before.
