Backing up your critical business data to an on-site appliance is typically the first step a business takes to ensuring it can quickly and efficiently recover information that may have been accidentally deleted, impacted by equipment failure or malicious activity. While on-site data backup is certainly the most popular option, it’s critical to understand that all on-site solutions are not the same.

On-site data backup can be accomplished in various products depending on whether you simply need to backup files on a specific device, an entire computer or server. The need for compliance should also be considered as not every solution allows you to address specific industry mandates.
