Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are more reliant on data than ever before. From customer information to financial records and operational files, data is the lifeblood of modern business. However, too many SMBs overlook the importance of proper data backup and protection—until it’s too late.

A single cyberattack, hardware failure, or accidental deletion can have devastating consequences. According to studies, nearly 60% of small businesses that suffer a major data loss close within six months. The stakes are high, which is why implementing a robust backup and cybersecurity solution like Acronis Cyber Protect is essential.

The Risks of Not Backing Up Your Data

Many SMBs operate under the assumption that data loss won’t happen to them. But the reality is quite the opposite:

  • Cyber Threats – Ransomware attacks are on the rise, encrypting business data and demanding hefty payments for its release.
  • Human Error – Accidental deletions, misplaced files, and overwritten documents are common occurrences that can lead to significant setbacks.
  • Hardware & Software Failures – Hard drives crash, servers fail, and software glitches can lead to data loss in an instant.
  • Natural Disasters – Fires, floods, and power outages can wipe out local storage and put crucial business data at risk.

Without a proper backup strategy, recovering from these events can be costly, time-consuming, and in some cases, impossible.
