Research: Cloud Backups the best way to protect your data

Hardware failure, hacking or human error can cause your website’s data to be permanently lost if the website data isn't protected. These unfortunate incidents can come out of nowhere without warning and cause your website to be damaged beyond repair.

Since most of today’s businesses rely on massive amounts of data, website owners should prioritize data security. Why should this be a top priority? Because without backup, the costs of restoration and the time to do it can be catastrophic for your business. The volume of data is skyrocketing, so it’s essential to do regular backups of the information and applications stored, meaning having a backup solution is essential if you want to succeed in the business.

The best way to ensure that your data is protected is by using a cloud backup.

What Are Cloud Backups?

Cloud backup has become one of the most popular methods for storing and protecting data, especially for huge companies. It enables you to store copies of your website and all your website’s data on the Internet. All the copies are stored in a geographically remote location to your server. Cloud backup is an excellent service that will allow you to manage, save and restore your website data quickly and easily. It’s quicker than the traditional backup methods, and you have the flexibility to increase your storage.

Here is why cloud backup is the best way to protect your website data:

  • Your data is always available

All the backups are stored online, so you can access them anytime, anywhere, as long as you have Internet. All your backups will be waiting for you if you ever need to restore your website.

  • You get scalable storage

As your website grows bigger, you will need more tools and plugins to make it function properly. As your business grows, you’ll need more storage capacity, and you might need to make backups more frequently. If your website needs regular data capacity change, it can be challenging to ensure that you have a suitable storage capacity. If you have too little storage capacity, you won’t be able to make new backups. On the other hand, if you have too much, you will be paying a lot of money for something you don’t need. Cloud backup allows you to increase the storage at any time, so if you need extra storage quickly, you can have it at any moment.

  • The storage is encrypted

Cloud backup has a different approach for keeping your backups secure. The cloud server uses military-grade encryption to encrypt all data during the transition. Users can also use this encryption while the data is in storage, but it has to be decrypted before accessing it.

  • You will get automatic backups

With cloud backup, you won’t need any manual interference. All the data will be automatically saved to a remote server, so you don’t need to back it up manually. This way, you’ll save a lot of time and effort. Having automatic backups means that you could never accidentally lose essential data.

  • Optional 24/7 technical support 

It can be challenging to recover your website after a disaster. The managed server package "Captain" offers 24/7 technical support, so anytime you’re experiencing trouble, you’ll be able to contact them and get an answer.

  • Affordable prices

Since cloud backup is effortless, it’s an excellent option for small and minimum businesses to protect website data. Also, the cloud backup system is pretty affordable since you don’t need to buy hardware. You also don’t need to invest in technology, meaning you only have to pay the monthly or yearly costs.

Snel is an excellent hosting company that provides the best plans which can be complemented with cloud backups (included in their managed vps plans or
€ 10.99 monthly for self-managed vps customers). The provider offers fast backups, data center security, disk image protection, strong encryption, granular recovery,
