Survey results



How much data do you backup, compared to last year?



How many hours spent each month managing backups?



How often do you backup each of the following?



Where do you store your backups? (Multiple answers allowed)


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


Disaster recovery



How long does it take you to recover the following?



How long does it take to recover following a site disaster?


Key Learning:

Nearly 2/3 measure site recovery time in days not hours

Cloud storage users more likely to recover in 24 hours

Twice as likely to recover site in 4 hours than non-cloud

storage users


Failures



How often do your backups fail?



What is the primary reason your backups fail?


Key Learning:

Backups do fail

• More than half experience multiple backup failures a year

• And one in ten on a daily or weekly basis

Wide range of reasons for failures

• Connectivity, equipment failure, human error
