You've made a decision to put automated, managed data backup in place for your business. What is the purpose of adding full system backup to your business continuity plan?

While your data has to be backed up because without backup, computer failure or theft would mean the end of the company. But business continuity is concerned with making sure that business operations continue as much as possible without interruption. The question rises concerning the time and effort needed to restore computer systems to their original operating condition should the worst occur and new equipment is neeeded.

Installing the operating system, security settings, access and shares, as well as the detailed setup of email systems were part of the setup of your network you didn’t even think about while happening. But if called upon to remake those settings during the stressful period following a company disaster, any way to streamline the process should be embraced and implemented.

By adding appropriate full system backup to your backup regime you will be able to recover the unique setup of your computer systems in minutes instead of hours or even days.
