Why Are Backups Still Failing After 60 Years?
Oct. 31, 2024 by Craig Thompson
It's not a matter of if you will encounter a problem, but when. It's alarming that nearly 50% of backups fail, especially after 60 years of data backup practices. So why is this still happening?
The culprit often lies in a "set it and forget it" mindset. Many organizations implement backup solutions but fail to regularly monitor and test them. Additionally, the landscape of threats is constantly evolving. The rise of AI has introduced new social engineering techniques and cyber threats, making it more important than ever to stay on high alert!
Backup practices in Canada emerged in the late 20th century, primarily using magnetic tapes and external drives. As the 2000s rolled in, cloud services gained popularity, helping businesses address hardware failures and disaster-related risks, such as fires. However, backup failures continued to be a significant issue for many companies. Today, the rise of ransomware presents the greatest threat, underscoring the importance of effective backup strategies to prevent catastrophic data loss.
