Business Continuity vs. Backup: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters

A lot of businesses think they’re covered because “we’ve got backups.” But backup alone isn’t enough.

Here’s the difference:

Backup = copies of your data stored somewhere else.
Business Continuity = your ability to keep working during and after an outage.

Let’s break it down:

  1. Time is money.
    Can you afford to be down for 3 days while your backup restores? Continuity planning ensures minimal downtime.
  2. Local AND cloud recovery.
    Our Acronis-powered solutions offer both onsite and cloud-based recovery options for speed and redundancy.
  3. Regular testing.
    Backups are only useful if they actually restore. We test recovery scenarios so you’re not left guessing.
  4. Full systems, not just files.
    A proper plan covers your apps, email, virtual machines, and even endpoints.

Spacetel offers continuity solutions designed for real business impact—not just ticking a compliance box. Don’t just back up your data—back up your business.
