 After a large fire broke out in the offices of Dr. JS Moroka Local Municipality in South Africa, all of the office's data may have been lost. Fortunately, the office was employing a data backup plan with a disaster recovery system in place, according to Gadget Magazine. |
According to CodeFutures CEO Cory Isaacson, using cloud backup for disaster recovery is a smart way to do business for any enterprise. He called it a "good early move" in making a move over to the cloud. 
Jill Yaoz, CEO of AFCOM, the association of data center management professionals, said in an article on Forbes that businesses need to cover their risks for disaster protection in case something goes wrong at the data center where they store their information. 
Following the loss of data kept at four municipalities in Iwate and Miyagi prefectures in Japan after the March 11 tsunami, the Japanese Justice Ministry plans to use a national data backup network system to store data of family registers, according to the Daily Yomiuri Online. 
With users needing data quicker than ever, data backup via tapes has become outdated, according to Mike DeNapoli on Computer Technology Review. He said cloud backup could be a quick, inexpensive way to go for businesses.
