Statistics show that most small to mid-sized businesses will experience at least one instance of system downtime a year, at an average cost of $74,000 an hour, according to Aberdeen Group. Unfortunately, only a handful of small to mid-sized businesses have ever even tested their backup to find out if complete recovery of their data, applications and systems after a disaster is possible. For those that do test, it’s often conducted infrequently — a result of outdated thinking that DR testing is time- and cost-prohibitive or too complex an endeavor. Of course, if an organization is using tape or disk backup for disaster recovery or cloud backup alone, these complaints are not altogether unfounded. Hybrid cloud solutions are more reliable and less cumbersome, with on-demand and automatic testing that can be performed in minutes.
