Automatic off-site backup: the cornerstone of your cyber resilience

At a time when cyberattacks, especially ransomware, keep growing, the question is no longer whether you will suffer an IT incident, but when. To ensure business continuity, automatic off-site backup has become the most reliable strategy. Discover why this combination is essential to protect your critical data.

Automatic off-site backup: the cornerstone of your cyber resilience

What is automatic off-site backup?

Automatic backup eliminates human error by scheduling data copies at regular intervals. The off-site aspect means that these copies are not stored on your local servers, but in a secure remote data center (cloud).

3 reasons why automation is essential

  1. Eliminating human risk: Forgetting to run a backup or mishandling a physical medium (USB flash drive, hard drive) is one of the leading causes of data loss

  2. Frequency and regularity: Automation enables daily or even hourly backups, reducing the data lost between two backups (RPO - Recovery Point Objective)

  3. Operational peace of mind: Your IT teams focus on higher-value tasks, while the software works in the background

The major benefits of off-site data storage

While local backup allows fast restores, it is vulnerable to physical disasters (fire, theft, flooding). Off-site storage offers stronger guarantees:

  • Immunity against ransomware: In a ransomware attack, local backups are often encrypted along with the network. An off-site backup disconnected from the local network remains intact

  • Security and compliance: Professional solutions such as Kiwi Backup rely on infrastructures certified ISO 27001 (information security) and HDS (Health Data Hosting), guaranteeing a level of protection that a standard infrastructure cannot achieve

  • 24/7 availability: Your data is accessible anywhere, at any time, making disaster recovery (DRP) easier even if your premises are inaccessible
