Should Your Business Continuity Services Include Cloud Backup?

A business continuity plan outlines how a business will remain operational in the event of a disruption like a natural disaster or a widespread technical failure. These plans include everything from getting utilities turned back on to establishing lines of communication among staff.


Dado que un plan de continuidad del negocio es una tarea compleja, altamente personalizada y en la que intervienen varios departamentos, existen numerosos servicios de continuidad del negocio que ofrecen desde asesoramiento integral hasta asistencia práctica en caso de que se produzca una situación de emergencia.

¿Qué son los servicios de continuidad del negocio?

Muchos proveedores de servicios gestionados (MSP) ofrecen servicios de continuidad del negocio en diversas áreas, entre las que se incluyen:

  • Modelos de resiliencia, incluidas las copias de seguridad y Backup and Recovery
  • Evaluaciones de riesgos de seguridad
  • Gestión de crisis
  • Formación y sensibilización
  • Estrategias para la vuelta a la oficina
  • Gestión de riesgos y cobertura de seguros
  • Gestión de activos de software y hardware
  • Servicios informáticos

Of course, every business is different and needs will vary. Not all companies will need all of the above services. But in today’s data-centric environment, every business that hosts its applications and workloads in the cloud will need a way to backup and rapidly restore its data in the event of a disaster. This is a component of business continuity that should be integrated into any business continuity conversations you may be having, no matter which services are recommended to you.

Let’s explore why, and how this works in the cloud.

How Does Data Backup—Specifically Cloud Backup—Fit with Business Continuity Services?

Backing up enterprise data has been an important part of business continuity plans for decades, dating back to when businesses stored data on multiple sets of tape copies on-premises. In today’s technology landscape, the amount of data being used on a daily basis has also grown exponentially and the majority of businesses have migrated their applications and workloads to the cloud to leverage its scale and elasticity. This evolution has created a need for cloud backup-as-a-service.

If your organization’s applications are hosted in the cloud, you are better off using a backup solution built specifically for the cloud. When the cloud backup solution is deployed, data is backed up according to a set schedule and then securely stored in the cloud. If an incident occurs that leads to loss, corruption, or, compromise of data — such as a physical disaster or a ransomware attack — the most recent copy of the data backup can be recovered and restored from any location with access to the cloud backup platform.

Los datos son fundamentales para tus operaciones; tanto si tu empresa cuenta con cientos de sedes físicas repartidas por todo el mundo como si se trata de una empresa que opera exclusivamente en línea, la necesidad de contar con copias de seguridad en la nube y una recuperación rápida sigue siendo la misma.

Las organizaciones que recurren a un MSP para la protección de sus datos deben asegurarse de que este utilice una solución de copias de seguridad nativa de la nube que permita:

  • Realizar copias de seguridad y almacenar datos de forma eficiente
  • Asegúrate de que las copias de seguridad se almacenen fuera de las cuentas principales para proteger los datos frente a amenazas cibernéticas como el ransomware.
  • Identificar, recuperar y restaurar rápidamente los datos y las cargas de trabajo más esenciales necesarios para garantizar la continuidad del negocio
