It’s not just Backup & Disaster Recovery – It’s
Business Continuity!
In today’s fast-paced business environment, data is the lifeblood of your organization. Unexpected disasters, whether they are natural or man-made, can disrupt operations and lead to data loss. At Protek, we recognize the critical role data plays in your business’s success. That’s why we offer comprehensive data backup and business continuity solutions to keep your data safe and your operations running smoothly.
What's the Difference?
Backup
Purpose:
The primary purpose of backup is to create copies of data and store them securely to prevent data loss. It focuses on preserving data integrity and availability in case of data corruption, accidental deletions, hardware failures, or other data-related issues.
Scope:
Backup is primarily concerned with data. It involves copying and storing data, and it doesn’t address the broader aspects of business operations or processes.
Timeframe:
Backup processes are typically designed to provide a point-in-time copy of data that can be used for data recovery purposes. It is focused on short-term data availability.
Components:
Backup systems typically involve data replication, data snapshots, and data archiving. These processes ensure that data is copied and stored securely.
Goals:
The primary goal of backup is data recovery. It aims to restore data to a specific point in time to minimize data loss and downtime.

Business Continuity
Purpose:
Business continuity has a broader purpose. It aims to ensure that essential business functions, processes, and operations can continue or be rapidly resumed in the face of various disruptions or disasters. While data backup is a part of business continuity, the main goal is to keep the business running, even when faced with more significant challenges, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or extended outages.
Scope:
Business continuity encompasses a wide range of factors, including people, processes, facilities, communication, and technology. It involves planning for the resilience of the entire organization, not just its data.
Timeframe:
Business continuity planning is long-term and considers how the organization can continue its critical functions during and after a disaster. It involves strategies and procedures that can span days, weeks, or even months.
Components:
Business continuity planning includes a wide range of components, such as disaster recovery plans (which may include backup as a part), alternate work locations, crisis communication plans, employee training, and a focus on critical business processes.
Goals:
The primary goal of business continuity is to ensure that critical business operations continue, even in the face of disruptions. It focuses on maintaining or quickly resuming essential functions to minimize the impact of a disaster on the organization.
