Management: SMBs Struggle in Preparing for Disaster Recovery"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The backup and recovery process is a generally under-appreciated task of IT, until of course, a disaster strikes. \u00a0Depending on the nature of the problem, recovery can take considerable time. \u00a0Only 7 percent of organizations felt confident that they could recover within two hours after an IT failure.<\/p>\n<p>A report, <a title=\"Axcient Backup and Recovery Report\" href=\"http:\/\/axcient.com\/new-research-reveals-major-challenges-with-traditional-backup-and-disaster-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\">sponsored by Axcient<\/a>, looked at how IT professionals in small and medium sized companies are prepared to respond to IT failures and backup and recovery processes.<\/p>\n<p>The report found that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most organizations recognize that backups are critical, but few organizations have a complete backup and recovery strategy and solution in place.<\/li>\n<li>IT failures happen, and when they do, the time to recover is very disruptive. \u00a0Few organizations are prepared to respond quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Many organizations have fragmented systems in place for backup and recovery. \u00a0Often the tools have overlap in the functionality available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Benefits of cloud-based backup and recovery include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Faster to recover after a disaster (53 percent)<\/li>\n<li>Backup and recovery tasks take less time (50 percent)<\/li>\n<li>Application data still accessible after a disaster (45 percent)<\/li>\n<li>Ability to fully recover (44 percent)<\/li>\n<li>Overall cost savings (36 percent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a title=\"Diane Hagglund bio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dimensionalresearch.com\/company\/leadership.php\"

href=\"http:\/\/talkincloud.com\/cloud-computing-research\/study-cloud-offers-viable-alternative-traditional-bdr-solutions\" target=\"_blank\">said that<\/a>\u00a0&#8220;complete protection and recovery is imperative for all companies, regardless of size. \u00a0Given the staggering complexity and limitation of traditional on-premise backup and recovery solutions, there is clear value in fully transitioning to a single, comprehensive cloud-based solution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
