After all, it doesn’t have to take a Zombie Apocalypse to put your organization at risk. Now, with the recent increase in cyberattacks, every organization is at risk. And backups are the only defense against Ransomware attacks.
We know that as IT professionals, you get this. And while it may sound like we’re beating a dead printer, we can’t tell you how many customers we were able to save because they had protected their systems with regular, complete backups.
In fact, we recently helped a customer with an emergency restore due to some hiccups while performing an upgrade. Luckily, that customer had regular backups stored in multiple locations.
Please see our post, “How to Backup XenServer VMs,” for tips on backing up XenServer with Alike.
