Cloud Backup – Why Backup your data to the cloud?
Let’s agree, accidents do happen, and they can be catastrophic depending on how well prepared you were at the time. 2019 witnessed the biggest hacks to date, with a persistent and endless stream of malware, breaches, and data leaks, that affected innumerable businesses and people across the globe. The UAE was no exception.
A Khaleej Times report states that there has been a year-on-year growth of 7% in the number of threats in the Middle East. Whereas other sources say that 1 in 6 PC users were subject to at least one virus or malware attack in the year 2019.
Today, organizations of all sizes rely more on data and IT systems than they have ever done before. This thus increases the value of organizational data significantly, which in turn requires increased levels of IT security and the need for cloud backup services.
Not only have there been threats and attacks, but there have been many silly reasons as well.

It is crucial to have a backup system in place to protect your important files and prevent data loss. In addition, regularly testing your backup system can ensure that it is working properly and effectively.
