March 31st is More Than Just a Reminder, it’s a Call to Action
Every year, businesses across the globe suffer from cyberattacks, accidental deletions, hardware failures, and natural disasters, resulting in millions in lost revenue and reputational damage. Despite living in a data-driven world, too many companies still take a reactive approach to backup and disaster recovery.
That’s why World Backup Day (March 31st) exists. It’s a chance to step back and ask a simple question: If disaster struck today, would your business be able to recover?
The Importance of Backups in 2025
The way we create, store, and use data has changed dramatically. With the rise of AI driven automation, hybrid work environments, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats like ransomware as a service, having a solid backup and disaster recovery strategy is not just good practice, it is business critical.
Is Your Backup Strategy Strong Enough?
Most businesses think they have backups covered, but assumptions don’t recover data. Ask yourself:
Are you testing backups regularly?
How long would it take to get back online after an incident?
Are you following the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule? (Three copies of your data, two different media types, one off-site, one immutable copy, and zero backup integrity issues)
Could ransomware take out both your production environment and your backups?
If you don’t have confident answers to these questions, now is the time to fix it.
Best Practices for Data Resilience
A solid backup strategy isn’t just about having a copy of your data. It’s about being able to recover quickly and with confidence.
Here’s what that looks like:
- 3-2-1-1-0 Backup Rule—Multiple copies, multiple locations, zero surprises
- Automated Backups—No human error, no forgotten steps
- Regular Testing—Because a backup that doesn’t restore is useless
- Ransomware-Proof Protection—Air-gapped, encrypted, and immutable storage
- A Clear Disaster Recovery Plan—Know exactly what happens next when downtime strikes
