Considering the Risks of Data Loss

  • IT failures and outages
  • IT device theft or loss
  • Extreme weather and other events
  • Data corruption issues
  • Ransomware attacks

Tip: Managed backup could pay for itself the first time you use it to recover your data.

Everyday Calamities: IT Equipment Failures

As Visionary Veronica and Complacent Carl strive to win the business of Melvin Millions, IT issues disrupt their plans.

While Visionary Veronica swiftly recovers with managed backup, restoring her proposal within minutes to a backup laptop, Complacent Carl faces a lengthy recovery process. He relies solely on cloud backup, spending hours attempting to restore his data and eventually deciding to restart the next day.

Tip: Managed backup restores easily to the device of your choice and backs up your data several times a day.

Everyday Calamities: Data Corruption

The next morning brings a new challenge—data corruption. Visionary Veronica and Complacent Carl find their proposals corrupted, hindering their progress.

Tip: Your MSP can help you recover quickly from data corruption issues you may not be able to address on your own.
