Companies understand that backup of their crucial data is a necessity as they just can't take risk of loosing data in any manner. Even today, many companies rely on the local backup of their data for the protection but the truth is that local data backups are just not enough. Local backup won't protect your data from fire, flood, theft or any other natural calamity.
Portable media can be an option with offsite backups but even it has a limitation as we have to rely upon people to transport data to a safe location. Portable storage is generally not as reliable, easily stolen, not encrypted & most often goes untested.
Given the above conditions the only option that stands undoubtedly on the top is the offsite backup of the data. Generally, people use internet alongwith a document management system to save their data at multiple locations so that their data remains safe, secure & encrypted at various locations across the globe.
