Dear Sage City Member

A backup is essential for every company database to recover from most disasters and it will also help to protect you against database upgrades that go bad, table corruption and other system problems.

Advantages of Backup and Restore on Sage 200 Evolution

Security. This is one of the most important aspects of data backup and recovery. As IT systems grow and integrate with one another, the number of potential threats increases to the information that a company holds. Maintaining a backup and recovery solution that has strong security is foremost when looking to protect and save data.

Ease of management. Especially when restoring lost data, which can be stressful and time-sensitive, ease of management creates consistencies in the processes for backing up data and information. It avoids end users backing up their own devices inconsistently and irregularly.

Reliable replication. Ensuring accurate replication of your data makes it disaster-proof.

Maintain compliance standards. Collecting and preserving critical data through regular backup processes, IT departments can quickly respond to requests from legal or auditors.

Zero impact on performance. Most of the time users don’t realize that a solution for backups is running in the background. Fewer disruptions to users mean more uptime.
