We are all aware of the importance of keeping backup copies of mission-critical data in an offsite location. There’s always risk of files getting erased accidentally, or onsite hardware facing technical failure, causing partial or full data loss that will result in huge financial loss to a company.

Before the emergence of cloud service provider such as KANOPI, companies often relied on magnetic tape or hard drive to store their data in a remote location, but such an approach can turn out to be costly when there’s a huge amount of data needed to be transferred from one physical location to another.

Furthermore, IT departments may need to sift through rolls of tape or stacks of hard drives to find the right ones to restore when disaster strikes, and that can delay the process of restoring critical data to ensure business continuity.
