What Is Backup & Disaster Recovery?‍ ‍

Short definition:
Backup and disaster recovery ensures your data can be restored after loss, attack, or failure.

What this actually means for a business:
If your systems go down (hardware failure, ransomware, human error), you can recover quickly and avoid major downtime.

Common misconception:
Many believe Microsoft 365 or the cloud automatically backs everything up—this is not always true.

When this matters:
If losing data—even temporarily—would disrupt operations or cost money.
