Cloud solutions are perfect for professional backup strategies which require that large amounts of data and sensitive business and customer data be saved. They are flexible, can be scaled as needed and are accessible from any location. Furthermore, well-implemented cloud solutions reduce the amount of work required for complex backup strategies. For example, they reduce the workload for companies without their own IT department by autonomously managing and overseeing storage space. Customers no longer need to create multiple redundant backups themselves. Reputable providers offer effective protection against unauthorised access by using encryption technologies for network-based data transfer.
The costs incurred with cloud solutions are worth it, especially in cases when a high-level of data protection is required and reliable in-house solutions are too complex and expensive. In addition, a professional provider’s backup cloud solution can compensate for a lack of in-house know-how at a relatively low cost. Due to their scaled pricing, cloud solutions are also useful for smaller companies and self-employed people who view data protection as particularly important.
Extra attention should be paid to the following when dealing with highly sensitive data: For cloud backups, you should choose a certified provider which provides transparent and detailed information about its privacy policy. If personal data is regularly being processed, it is recommended to use a provider that strictly complies with the provisions set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In addition, the technical basis for online solutions should be available. It is also advantageous to have a fast network connection with sufficient bandwidth. This enables particularly comprehensive backup routines to be carried out smoothly.
