There is an elementary question to ask yourself to pursue and determine whether your business needs a data backup and disaster recovery plan: 'Can my business continue to function without mission critical data, applications and operations?' A firm yes is the only answer that scraps the need for a viable disaster recovery plan.

Fueled by over 100 patents, the Acronis AnyData Engine captures, stores, recovers, controls and accesses data in virtual, physical, cloud and mobile environments
