An analysis by Veeam shows us that even today most companies do not have a valid backup policy

The Veeam Cloud Data Management Report 2019 version does not study information that helps us feel secure. While companies understand the enormous importance of information and its preservation, as much as 73% of the sample examined admits that they can not provide continuous access to data and company apps. In brief, owing to technical issues, 3 out of 4 businesses would experience a crisis, a crisis that could cost up to 20 million a year.

What are we learning from the Data Management Report for Veeam Cloud?
The version of the Veeam Cloud Data Management Report is focused on surveys with a sample of 1,500 businesses and IT rulers distributed across 13 nations, including Italy. As far as our nation is concerned, 125 firms were approached between 1,000 and 2,999 staff, mildly distinct from other nations ' press, where the organisations examined were predominantly firms with a population of between 3,000 and 5,000 units.

The findings represent one and despite the bulk of the interviewees fully comprehend the significance of the information and its security, 3 out of 4 acknowledge not being prepared to meet clients ' requirements in terms of backup and application accessibility.

This does not imply that there are no plans for backup leadership, but they are not as efficient as administrators, and particularly clients, want. 42 percent say that there is a significant difference between the time actually needed to restore their app and the desirable one: according to estimates, the average non-availability time in these cases is 52 minutes and represents a significant cost to companies if we believe that in these situations we lose an average of 101,803 dollars per hour.

It is not just about clients missed during these blackouts, but also about harm to the brand's confidence, which is probable to demonstrate inefficient for its citizens in these circumstances, a decrease in stock value and, in some instances, even legal issues because of the impossibility of ensuring the service. If once the backup and disaster recovery policies were limited to being able to recover all the information, today the needs have changed and even for a few minutes we can not afford to prevent facilities. Think of facts like e-commerce, transportation or trivial food service facilities: half an hour of non-service implies millions of losses, a breakdown of client trust, and a bad image return, with heavy criticism on social media.

However, by analyzing the frequency of backups, the data console us a lot: more than half of the companies interviewed (51%) make a backup to another priority every 15 minutes of applications and less than 5% exceed 6 hours between snapshot and snapshot.

It goes without saying that the totality of the interviewees understands the need to embrace a more advanced strategy to information leadership that, in 44% of instances, has to go through some type of storage, even if there are barriers to these enhancement initiatives. Despite what one can believe, the budget constraints are a issue for an interviewee out of 3 (33%): the true hurdle for 71% is linked to heritage alternatives, as well as the absence of moment accessible to deal with the scenario (38%).
