Secure Cloud Backup Solutions for Small Businesses that Work
Why do companies use cloud backup solutions for business?
Data drives every business. If data is lost, either by accidental deletion, a system fault, or you get hacked, the consequences can be catastrophic:
- The loss of important business and personal data.
- Possible security concerns.
- Business downtime and lost productivity and revenue.
- Possible regulatory or legal penalties.
Data loss is costly:
- It increases the likelihood of small or medium-sized businesses to fail within six months of data loss by 60%.
- The average data recovery cost for small businesses is over $120,000.
- The cost to restore a single email can be more than the annual cost of an organization-wide managed backup service.
Cloud backup solutions for business from CG Technologies ensure your business does not have to worry about the cost of recovering from a data loss.

Cloud Backup Solutions Questions
Are there disadvantages to using cloud backup solutions?
If you are looking for cloud backup solutions in Canada, it’s important to understand the potential issues. While using cloud backups is a great low-cost and easily managed solution to keep data safe and secure, it also requires a fast and reliable Internet connection. Without that, it could take a long time to backup and restore your data. Also, with cloud backup solutions, Canada-based businesses can incur high costs for large data volumes so its important to choose a provider that has a flexible and scalable offering.
Are there security concerns with cloud backup solutions?
Many backup solutions use shared cloud platforms to store data, so it is important to select a solution that incorporates secure protection methods to prevent anyone from accessing your stored data in the cloud. The easiest way to protect against this is to use a cloud backup solution that encrypts your data before storing it. Without strong cybersecurity, hackers can gain access to cloud backup data.
