Veeam’s latest Data Protection Report shows that most customers’ back up and restore plans run on hopes and prayers.

The firm has revealed that at least 31 per ent of all backups are non-restorable in UK organisations, meaning any attempt to pull the information back would end in errors or complaints and 26 percent of restorations that could be done would fail to meet SLAs.

More than  14 percent of UK customers did not back their data up at all.

Veeam channels and alliances manager  Alex Walsh said that customers were looking at how they make sure they’ve got an airtight solution because a lot of those backup jobs failed.

“The pandemic’s highlighted to a lot of businesses that there was always competition in any industry, but unfortunately the output of the pandemic has been that a lot of businesses aren’t here and a lot of businesses now moving to be online, which means that they’ve got to make sure that data is recoverable at all times and applications are up and running”, he said.
