Key Learnings:

Businesses are backing up more data than ever

• 75% of organizations are growing backup data

• Nearly a quarter have doubled

Backup is still a significant part of what people do

• Even if it isn’t very strategic

• Yet application backups lag files servers and databases

More than half (59%) maintaining in only one location

• Single location adds risk if anything should happen
