March 31st is 'World Backup Day': Advocating for 'Proactive Data Protection' using AOSBOX Business Pro

AI Data Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Takahito Sasaki), a company specializing in the utilization of corporate data and AI, is proposing a review of corporate backup systems in conjunction with 'World Backup Day' on March 31st. In recent years, the risk of loss or corruption of data that supports corporate activities has increased due to cyberattacks such as ransomware, natural disasters, equipment failures, and human error. To prepare for such situations, it is essential to establish an environment where backups are taken routinely and continuously, and can be restored quickly when needed. ■ Background: Why is it necessary to re-verify backups now? 'World Backup Day' is an international awareness day that encourages the recognition of the importance of data and the implementation of appropriate backups. As corporate digital transformation (DX) progresses, the volume and importance of business data continue to grow, and it is not uncommon for a single instance of data loss to have a major impact on business continuity, customer service, and internal operations. Therefore, it is required to establish a system that includes not only taking backups but also ease of restoration, operational continuity, and ease of management. ■ Supporting Corporate Data Protection with 'AOSBOX Business Pro' 'AOSBOX Business Pro,' a cloud backup service for businesses provided by AI Data Inc., supports data protection and rapid restoration while reducing the operational burden of backups for companies. The main features are as follows: 1. Ensuring restorability through version management Because past versions can be automatically retained, the design makes it easy to restore data to a previous point in time when necessary, such as in the event of file overwriting, deletion, or malware infection. It is also an effective means of retaining pre-infection data from a ransomware protection perspective. 2. Optimizing operational costs through storage utilization It supports the backup of large-capacity data held by companies, including the storage of infrequently accessed data, helping to balance storage costs and operational efficiency. It is a configuration suitable for business data intended for long-term storage. 3. Reducing operational burden through management functions It is equipped with features that allow administrators to centrally check backup status, providing an environment that is easy to manage even when operating across multiple devices. It is useful for visualizing and controlling backup status even in distributed environments, including telework. 4. Utilization as a BCP measure Even if existing devices cannot be used due to failures or disasters, restoration to a different environment is possible as long as there is an internet connection, contributing to shortening the time until business resumption. It is an effective option for positioning backups as a means of executing BCP. ▼ 'AOSBOX Business Pro' Overview Page
