As a business, losing just a small fraction of your data can be a real disaster, crippling operations and costing an arm and a leg to potentially recover it. There are ways to protect against data loss, such as backing up files to a local drive, however this still leaves you vulnerable to theft, or disasters like hurricanes, fires or earthquakes.
In order to have ultimate protection against all forms of data loss, you need to backup all of your critical data to an offsite location using one of the many cloud backup services on the market, such as IDrive. So how do you choose which service is right for you?
There’s a lot to consider, such as: how much storage space you need, how many devices you’re backing up, how many versions are saved, what type of encryption options are provided to keep your data secure, and much more.
Once again, IDrive Small Business has been named one of the top choices by TechRadar in their roundup of the Best Cloud Backup Services for Businesses 2019.
A free backup service may be appropriate for some home users, but for protecting important organizational data, you need a more feature-packed service that is tailor-made to support the needs of small businesses.

- Backup support for Windows Server, Microsoft SQL, Exchange, SharePoint and Oracle
