Cloud backup

Smooth business operations depend on protecting your critical information.

Data professionals are reportedly seeing their companies’ data volume grow by an average of 63% each month. Data loss is a significant concern since many businesses depend on data for their operations.

Natural disasters, hardware failure, and cyber-attacks are common and can set your business up for failure. Investing in data backup and recovery services protects you against data loss and provides business continuity, risk mitigation, compliance, data security, and an advantage over competitors. Ultimately, your business’s reputation is on the line, so protecting your proprietary information should be top of mind.

Backup software gives you the peace of mind you deserve. DocuXplorer has built-in functionality through our proprietary Secure Backup service, which ensures your data is automatically backed up without fail. 

Creating a data backup plan

Do you have the IT capabilities and infrastructure to run, test, and monitor your backups regularly? While it may seem easier to manage in-house, self-service backups have limitations. Most system backups can only roll back to a date before the incident. If you’re not conducting frequent backups, you’ll lose all changes to your system after the most recent one.

Having data professionals handle your backups can save you time and resources. One of the perks of leveraging a service is recovering your data without disrupting your team. Even better, a backup and recovery service built into your information management platform and process means your data will be automatically backed up as you conduct daily operations. You won’t need to manage a backup schedule or have dedicated IT personnel to conduct backups and recovery procedures.

On-site versus cloud storage

Data backup can be on-site, online, or a combination of both. On-site backups ensure you have multiple copies of files at your business location, whether on another computer or a storage server. With on-site backup, you’ll recover data quickly.

Online backup, available through cloud storage, protects you if your physical office is compromised. Storing data in the cloud is useful for businesses that don’t want the expense of buying and maintaining servers, storage media, and IT support. Cloud storage offers data management ease, and cloud backup services automatically save and sync your stored files for maximum scalability.

DocuXplorer's Secure Backup includes daily monitoring and specialists who test and run backups as frequently as needed. Your data storage can be in-house, cloud-based, or hybrid, whatever your IT needs. When you're faced with a problem, from a crashed server to an accidental deletion, you’ll get expert help quickly restoring your lost files. 


Automatic backup with verification

Data practices are evolving rapidly. Automatic and reliable backup and recovery are crucial as your company grows its data usage.

However, recovery procedures can vary widely depending on the service you choose. A quality service should restore your most current data. But if what gets recovered is an obscure file type with your data in a jumbled mess, your team will spend substantial time and effort rebuilding your file structures, restoring data into your applications, and validating it so that you can resume work.

Like an online safety deposit box for your files, backup software should allow you to access exactly what you need, just as you left it.

If you partner with DocuXplorer for document and business process management, your advocate will recover and restore the missing or damaged files directly into DocuXplorer with all customization and metadata intact.

The best access is secure access

Protecting your data demonstrates your commitment to responsible information management. If your critical information is accessible from anywhere, you'll empower more streamlined team collaboration.

With readily available backups, your business can quickly recover and resume operations. This ensures minimal downtime and disruption to productivity, safeguarding revenue streams and customer satisfaction.

Your critical information—safe and always within reach
