Frequently asked questions
Why are backup solutions essential for freelancers and SMEs?
As a freelancer or SME, you often depend on your digital administration, customer data, and project files. A good backup solution protects your company against data loss due to ransomware, hardware failures, or human error. With smart cloud backup services like Microsoft 365 Backup or Veeam, you can always rely on recent data and minimize downtime.
Flexamedia sees daily how companies in the Netherlands can quickly resume their activities thanks to an automated backup system. Especially with the increase in remote working and hybrid work patterns, it's essential to maintain secure access to your data and backups from anywhere.
Which backup technologies are suitable for companies?
In the IT sector for SMEs and freelancers, cloud-based solutions like Acronis Backup, Synology, and Veeam are widely used. These are partners with companies like Microsoft and Google, and perfectly match the needs of growing businesses. Their integration with packages like Office 365, Google Workspace, and physical NAS systems ensures complete security.
We often recommend a combination of local and offsite backups to resist ransomware and cyberattacks. Encryption and automated scheduling help you stay compliant with GDPR and industry protocols. This ensures your business can always keep running, no matter what happens.
How often should you make a backup as an SME?
A daily backup is now standard for businesses, regardless of size. This way, you lose a maximum of one workday in the event of a disaster. With smart backup software from companies like Barracuda or Synology, you can even take snapshots of important data multiple times a day.
We recommend periodic checks to test the integrity of your backups. Consider a periodic restore test. This way, you can be sure you won't encounter any surprises when necessary. Flexamedia supports this with monitoring tools and reporting.
What does a good backup solution cost for SMEs or self-employed persons?
Costs vary depending on the amount of data, software used, and required retention period. As a freelancer, you can often start with online backup, for example, Microsoft OneDrive Business, starting from just a few euros per month. For SMEs with multiple workstations, servers, and compliance requirements, this amount ranges from tens to hundreds of euros per month.
Don't just consider cheaper alternatives from unknown brands; reliability, support, and data security are the key pillars we at Flexamedia recommend. This way, you can be sure your backup won't let you down.
How can I prevent and recover from ransomware with a backup solution?
Prevention begins with reliable endpoint security and regular awareness training. But if you are nevertheless affected by ransomware, a current, isolated backup can offer a solution. With immutable backups—backups that cannot be modified, such as those offered by Veeam and Synology—you can safely restore your data after an attack.
Regularly test file recovery to ensure you're back up and running quickly in the event of an emergency. Flexamedia sees daily that companies recover much faster from incidents using this approach.
