Is Your Sage 500 ERP Data Protected From Disaster?

Having business insurance is a no-brainer.  Whether in place as protection from lawsuits or to cover the cost of your assets should your place of business be damaged, business insurance is nothing new.  But, what are you doing to insure your business data?  Sure, in the case of a fire you could get new equipment and your production line would be back up and running. However, how do you continue to operate with no data?

I'm sure more than one of you is saying at this point, no problem we have tape backups. Unfortunately, there are many businesses that would agree by past experience that these not enough.  For example, there are cases when the tapes are ruined in the disaster and you are back at having nothing.  Or, maybe your tape backups made it out of the disaster, but the data recorded doesn't include everything you actually need since these tapes are only as good as the last time the full backup was completed.

In order to fully protect your data, you need a true disaster recovery solution, such as Sage 500 Cloud Disaster Recovery.  The Sage 500 Disaster Recovery Solution provides "real-time" mirroring of your Sage 500 ERP production environment and data.  It also includes nightly full database backups with incremental backups every five minutes.

What may be surprising to some is that one of the most common types of disasters is actually human error.  Things happen, it's just human nature.  What if someone forgets to run the tape backup or does it incorrectly?  Having a Sage Cloud Disaster Recovery solution located in a secure, dedicated and fully managed cloud environment duplicating your data is a real business saver.  

According to the American Red Cross, "No business should risk operating without a disaster recovery plan.  While reports vary, as many as 40% of small businesses do not reopen after a major disaster."  Why risk your entire business by neglecting one area that has a simple and affordable solution such as Sage 500 Disaster Recovery?  Take the time to learn more and see how a true cloud disaster recovery solution can protect your business by visiting www.evs-sw.com.
