Choosing the right cloud for backups: the cloud is a cost-effective, flexible and secure storage location. A comment from Marcus Busch, managing director of Leaseweb.
“In times of distributed infrastructures, the cloud offers itself as a cost-effective, flexible and secure storage location for securing backups. Advantages of modern cloud backup solutions are that they are suitable for companies of all sizes and allow data backup from any server or device. However, when choosing a suitable cloud provider, companies should make sure that they have taken all the necessary precautions to ensure that the data is available around the clock.
Data must always be available

This includes the availability of emergency backup services, such as batteries and generators, but also redundant internet connections and an agreement with the local authorities for evacuation work in the event of a power failure. Ideally, there should also be agreements with energy suppliers for redundant energy connections that enter the data center from different locations.
A successful disaster recovery plan for data protection to ensure business continuity should take into account that there are always several parts to it. If you work with the right partners and products when creating a disaster recovery plan, you can sleep peacefully at night and don't have to fear a disaster. This also includes choosing the right cloud partner. "
