Nearly 60% of New Brunswick small businesses will find their backups useless when disaster strikes. What if you\u2019re next? Untested backups are like fire extinguishers you never checked\u2014you only realize they\u2019re empty when the fire is raging.<\/p>\n
From Fredericton accounting firms to Moncton retail shops, we see this problem all the time. Businesses assume their backups work, but when a cyberattack locks their files or hardware fails, those backups don\u2019t save the day. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security reports nearly 60% of small businesses lose data because their backups were never tested or simply don\u2019t work.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the truth: knowing your backup actually works is not optional\u2014it\u2019s essential. But testing backups is way easier than most IT folks make it out to be. Think of backups as copies of your files stored safely offline or in the cloud, ready to grab when things go sideways. And firewalls? Think of them as your digital front door locks, keeping out unwanted guests who could wreck your business.<\/p>\n
So what do you do? Start simple. Try this 3-step backup test now:<\/p>\n
1. Pick one critical file\u2014something you can\u2019t afford to lose.
\n2. Restore it from your backup and see how long it takes. Under five minutes? Great.
\n3. If it takes longer or you can\u2019t find the file, that\u2019s a red flag. Something\u2019s broken.<\/p>\n
