Webinar Overview

Worried about whether your business is truly protected if the worst happens?

This webinar, Choosing the Right Backups, is a practical, jargon‑free session designed to help small and medium‑sized businesses understand how backups really work and how to make sure your business is properly protected.

What This Webinar Covers

This training session goes far beyond the usual “make sure you back up!” advice. It explains, in everyday language:

1. The Difference Between Storage and Backup

2. The Five Essential Questions Every Business Must Ask About Backups

The webinar walks you through the five critical questions that reveal whether your business is actually protected:

  • What exactly are you backing up?
  • What type of backup do you have?
  • How long will recovery take?
  • What are you protected against?
  • Are you meeting your compliance requirements?

The Importance of Air‑Gapped Backups

Most businesses think they’re safe because they have two backups but if everything is connected, a cyber‑attack can take down both.

The webinar explains:

  • What an “air gap” is

  • Why it can save your business in a ransomware situation

  • How simple “offline” or fire‑safe backups can provide life‑saving redundancy

Why This Webinar Is Worth Watching

Clear and Non‑Technical

The webinar avoids complicated tech jargon and explains everything with everyday examples (like architectural drawings, server crashes, or stolen laptops).

Real‑World Scenarios

You’ll hear stories of:

  • Power surges destroying entire offices
  • Cloud backups accidentally encrypting during ransomware
  • Teams stuck for days due to slow internet restoration
  • Businesses losing years of data because they relied on a single provider

These examples help you see risks you may never have considered.

Actionable Checklists

You’ll leave knowing:

  • How to identify where ALL your data lives
  • What types of backups you already have
  • What’s missing
  • What questions to ask your IT provider or MSP
  • How to prioritise fixes

Designed for SMBs

Everything is tailored to small and medium‑sized businesses, not large enterprises so the advice is achievable, affordable, and directly applicable.

Who Should Watch This Webinar

This webinar is perfect for:

  • Business owners
  • Office managers
  • Operations teams
  • IT managers
  • Anyone responsible for business continuity, cyber security, or compliance

Even if you already have backups in place, this session helps you uncover hidden gaps and confirm you’re truly protected.

What You’ll Be Able to Do After Watching

  • Understand the difference between cloud storage and cloud backup
  • Identify your business’s backup vulnerabilities
  • Ask your IT provider the right questions
  • Evaluate whether your recovery times are acceptable
  • Check whether your data location meets compliance standards
  • Understand when multiple backups (including offline ones) are necessary
  • Make smarter, safer decisions about protecting your company’s data

Don’t Leave Your Business Exposed

If your server was stolen, your laptop was lost, or ransomware hit your business today…

Would you be back up and running in minutes, or completely stuck for days?

This webinar helps you answer that question with confidence.
