The ability to sustain a business long term relies on many complex factors. Planning for the future and preparing for inevitable interruptions are certainly among the most crucial. A business thrives when it's ahead of the curve and survives when it can withstand unexpected disruptions.

For these reasons, it's not surprising that so many enterprises are turning to online backup and other cloud-based services to secure business critical data. Implementing a secure data backup plan and robust disaster recovery strategy are proving to be among the smartest business ventures.

Proactive planning can save your business from unforeseen setbacks, especially in terms of data recovery. Studies suggest businesses that do not have an efficient backup strategy and recovery plan are forced to shut down within 12 months of experiencing a disaster such as a fire or flood.

Why, then, would any business savvy entrepreneur not utilize online backup? TechRadar suggests that there are a lot of companies that would greatly benefit from using cloud services, but they don't know enough about it. Some don't understand how to implement it or they simply don't have the resources to properly incorporate the cloud.

As a result, more cloud companies are developing new business-targeted services in an effort to reach these enterprises. Service providers are simplifying the process of implementing online backup, creating cost efficient offers that enable even smaller businesses to take part, and developing flexible plans that cater to specific needs or restrictions within a certain company or situation.

The bottom line is that a secure, comprehensive data backup strategy is essential for the longevity of any successful business. As this becomes more apparent, with plenty of statistics continually surfacing for validation, a greater number of businesses are looking to implement the cloud into their models. Meanwhile, cloud providers continue to create innovative options in order to constantly improve how they can assist and simplify business as well as provide security and insurance.
