Companies (and individuals) who don’t back-up their data regularly put their business at risk. Imagine being called early in the morning just to be told that your entire network is locked up in a ransomware attack and you must pay a hefty ransom because you kept thinking that it would never happen to you, or if one of your employees deletes an important file (whether maliciously or not) or in the worst of cases, hardware failure. How long can your company stay on top of tasks in today’s world when you need to revert to pen and paper? How long can you have your users without their files to work on? A day? 5-7 business days? Can you afford to start from scratch?
