What Is Business Continuity?
Business continuity is more than just data backup. You need to think about your business on a higher level.
Business continuity is the processes, policies, and procedures related to preparing for the recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure that is critical to your organization, after a natural or human-induced disaster.
Disaster recovery is a subset of business continuity. While business continuity involves planning for keeping all aspects of a business functioning in the midst of disruptive events, disaster recovery focuses on the IT or technology systems that support business functions.

What to Look for in a Business Continuity a Solution
Look for these key capabilities when considering a solution:
- Hybrid cloud backup: A hybrid approach fixes the vulnerabilities that a cloud-only or local-only possess.
- Superior RTO and RPO: Think in terms of business continuity rather than simply backup, and calculate how much downtime your business can endure and still survive (RTO) as well as how much data you can afford to lose (RPO). Learn more about RTO and RPO with our calculator.
- Image-based backup: Make sure that the backup solution takes images of all data and systems rather than simply copying the files.
