The convenience offered by BaaS solutions is indisputable. BaaS is automated — once it’s set up, information is saved automatically as it streams in. You don’t have to proactively save, label, and track information. Rather, the convenience of BaaS allows you to concentrate on your work without worrying about data loss.
Every business has its own unique data protection needs, and it can be a stretch addressing those needs with legacy solutions. Flexibility and scalability are core tenets of BaaS data protection solutions, architected to provide options that can meet all your RTO and RPO requirements, whether you want instant restores via snapshots, rapid recovery on-premises, or backup to the cloud for long term data retention.
Because your data is stored in the BaaS, you are not subject to the typical threats of hackers, natural disasters, and user error. In fact, data that is stored in the BaaS is encrypted, which minimizes the risks your data can incur.
Due to multiple levels of redundancy, if data is lost or deleted (most frequently through individual user error or deletion), backups are available and easily located. Multiple levels of redundancy means that your BaaS stores multiple copies of your data in locations independent of each other
BaaS can be less expensive than the cost of tape drives, servers, or other hardware and software elements necessary to perform backup; the media on which the backups are stored; the transportation of media to a remote location for safekeeping; and the IT labor required to manage and troubleshoot backup systems
Every business needs a disaster recovery plan—and that includes your backup solutions provider. What redundancies does your vendor have in place should their systems go down? It’s critical to know this information, as disaster takes many forms, and nobody is exempt.
