Even today, the cloud is somewhat a polarizing subject. The very mention of \u201cgoing to the cloud\u201d can produce eye rolls, cringing, and shaking of heads. And when you add the word backup to the subject \u2013 the idea of taking your most valuable data and IP and putting it in the cloud on purpose \u2013 the response turns to crossed arms, frowning faces and other demonstrations of disapproval.<\/p>\n

No doubt, cloud backup itself has some inherent issues, which is why we want to discuss hybrid cloud backups. If you\u2019re not familiar, it\u2019s where backups are stored on a local NAS and then archived to the cloud. Note, the cloud is still front and center in this kind of offering but, as you\u2019ll see, using a hybrid approach takes away all the pain and leaves all the benefits of cloud backups.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a look at 4 myths that have risen about the cloud in general and have somehow been tacked onto hybrid cloud backup, and see just how true they are.<\/p>\n

Myth 1 – Cloud backups aren\u2019t secure<\/h2>\n

\"Not-Secure\"This is the one myth that must be addressed before your customers will even bother to consider the cloud for housing any kind of important company data, regardless of whether using strictly cloud backups or a hybrid cloud backup.<\/p>\n

The litmus test of whether the cloud is secure for backups can be boiled down to a single question \u2013 Who has access? After all, if both the customer and the storage vendor have access to backed-up data, it\u2019s a non-starter.<\/p>\n

The reality is cloud backups are secure – for two reasons. First, serious cloud backup vendors are encrypted using military-grade\u00a0448 blowfish<\/a>\u00a0where the data is encrypted 16 times before being stored. In theory, it would\u00a0take a lifetime to crack<\/a>. Second, the only holder of the private encryption key is\u00a0the customer. That means no one else, not even the cloud backup provider, can access the data.<\/p>\n

Myth 2 \u2013 Cloud backups are slow<\/h2>\n

\"Slow\"Ok, since cloud backups\u00a0are\u00a0secure, they\u2019re too slow to use, right? I mean, GBs or even TBs of data over a wire with a comparably slow upload speed translates to an absolutely useless service. Or does it?<\/p>\n

From a speed standpoint, with a hybrid cloud solution in place, you have a very fast local backup from which the data can be copied to cloud-based storage over a period of time. But let\u2019s not stop there. Backups are performed at a block level (not a file level), sending only block-level changes up to the cloud. This makes for very tiny (read:\u00a0fast) backups.<\/p>\n

Myth 3 \u2013 Cloud-based recovery is even slower<\/h2>\n

\"Even-slower\"Cloud backup providers tout \u201cbare metal restores\u201d which, of course, brings to mind GBs and GBs of data. Surely I can\u2019t pull down an entire server form the cloud, can I? The reality is, by using a hybrid cloud backup solution, hopefully you won\u2019t need to.<\/p>\n

Recovery means \u201cget me my business operational!\u201d so speed is critical, so restoring from the on-premise half of the backup solution will provide fast restores. The cloud provides the redundancy needed in the event local storage isn\u2019t available or a restore needs to be\u00a0performed to an alternate site.<\/p>\n

Myth 4 \u2013 Cloud backups lack availability<\/h2>\n

\"unavailable\"Ok, in the context of a cloud-only backup solution, this one\u00a0would\u00a0be true. All it would take is a downed Internet connection. But, because we\u2019ve been talking about hybrid cloud backups, where local storage is utilized to provide speed and redundancy, your backup is highly available, even when the Internet isn\u2019t. And in cases where you need to restore to somewhere other than the location with the NAS server on-site, the availability of the cloud gives you access where on-premise simply can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

To be overly \u201cpunny\u201d, it appears the cloud has a silver lining. MSPs and customers alike who have legitimate concerns about the security, speed and availability of cloud backups can rest assured that with a hybrid cloud backup solution, customers get the best of both local and cloud-based features providing them with the most secure and highly available\u00a0backup solution on the market<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
