Data Backup & Recovery FAQs
What data should my business back up?
Your business should protect the data and systems required to keep operations moving, including shared files, workstations, servers, email, cloud data, and key business applications where applicable. The right scope depends on how your team works and where information is stored. GAN reviews your environment so backup planning is based on actual business use, not assumptions.
How is backup different from disaster recovery?
Backup is the process of creating protected copies of your data. Disaster recovery is the broader plan for restoring access to data, systems, and workflows after an outage, cyber incident, hardware failure, or other disruption. A strong approach considers both the stored copies and the steps needed to get your team working again.
Can data backup help protect against ransomware?
Backups can be an important part of a ransomware response plan, but they do not replace cybersecurity controls. GAN also provides cybersecurity, email security, firewall and network security services, and monitoring support that can work alongside backup planning. No backup strategy removes every risk, but a managed approach can reduce exposure and improve recovery options.
Do you support cloud backup and local business systems?
Yes, GAN works with local business technology environments that may include computers, servers, cloud services, Microsoft 365, networks, and managed devices. Many small and mid-sized businesses have data spread across several places, so backup planning needs to account for more than one system. We help coordinate that environment so protection is easier to understand and manage.
How often should backups be checked or tested?
Backup systems should be monitored regularly and reviewed as your business changes. Testing frequency depends on your risk level, systems, data volume, and recovery needs. GAN helps businesses avoid the common problem of setting up backups once and then not knowing whether they are still working as expected.
Is Data Backup & Recovery right for a 10 to 75 employee business?
Yes, data backup and recovery is especially important for businesses in that size range because they depend heavily on technology but may not have a full internal IT department. GAN supports growing small to mid-sized organizations that need predictable IT management, safer data, and practical guidance. This is a strong fit for professional services, legal firms, accounting firms, insurance agencies, construction, manufacturing, engineering, and architecture teams across Hampton Roads.
