When it comes to protecting your business data, cloud backups are a critical first step—but they’re not the full solution. Many businesses assume that simply backing up their files to the cloud ensures business continuity in a crisis. Unfortunately, that assumption can be costly.

Let’s break it down: cloud backups protect your data, but they don’t protect your operations. If your servers crash, your network goes down, or you’re hit with a ransomware attack, having your files stored in the cloud won’t get you back up and running immediately.

That’s where disaster recovery comes in. Disaster recovery is the proactive plan and set of tools that keep your systems online—even when the unexpected strikes.

Think of cloud backups like a spare tire. It’s great to have one, but it won’t help if your entire engine breaks down.

But when your network infrastructure is compromised—say, a ransomware attack locks down your entire server or a power surge damages your equipment—restoring from cloud backups can take days. And that means lost time, lost productivity, and lost revenue.
