With that in mind, I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite books on the subject of predictability and inevitability: The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/black-swan-data-center-or-how-prepare-disaster/) [25 March 2015 — 6 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 3: Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution.

Companies, big and small, that heavily rely on IT, know very well that backup is not a luxury but a requirement. Whether it is your internal documents, or customer-facing marketing information, or fast-changing transactional data – it needs to be protected.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/backup-and-disaster-recovery-solution-when-do-you-need-it/) [12 March 2015 — 5 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 4: Business Continuity vs. Disaster Recovery vs. Backup: Where do you Stand?](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) Five Questions to Ask Your Disaster Recovery Service Provider You’ve done your research, and you’ve looked at different options for disaster recovery (DR). You discarded tapes as slow and unreliable, colo active hosting as too expensive for your budget, appliance-based recovery as too close to your primary systems and therefore prone to the same disaster, and “doing it yourself”… oh, forget about it with your limited IT resources. Ultimately, you determined that cloud is the answer.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/five-questions-ask-your-disaster-recovery-service-provider/) [29 October 2014 — 3 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 5: Business Continuity vs. Disaster Recovery vs. Backup: Where do you Stand?](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) Business Continuity vs. Disaster Recovery vs. Backup: Where do you Stand? nScaled joined Spiceworks three months ago. Cool crowd, great discussions, and good spirit of competition between vendors. Acronis, of course, has been there much longer and has a very strong following.

Statistically Zero. Nil. Nada.](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) What’s your Chance to be Hit by a Meteor? Statistically Zero. Nil. Nada. A meteor crashed down last Saturday in Nicaragua, exploding and creating a huge crater. In the spirit of our industry – IT disaster recovery and business continuity – you might expect me to inform you that the meteor had hit an electrical substation near a major city, causing a fire and knocking out power for days.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/whats-your-chance-be-hit-meteor-statistically-zero-nil-nada/) [03 September 2014 — 2 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 7: Thoughts after a 6.1 Shaker + The 7 Rules of BCDR](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) Thoughts after a 6.1 Shaker + The 7 Rules of BCDR The dust has almost settled after the recent “shaker” – or an earthquake in our Californian slang – gladly, this time without casualties, serious injuries, with only minor property damage. Considering the area – Napa Valley, the Wine Country, delicate wine bottles don’t tolerate earthquakes well, but the damage was mostly “sentimental”. Still, it is always a wake-up call (literally at 3:30 am), both unexpected in a sense that you never know when and where it will strike next, and totally expected here in California. Apparently there is a forecasting service already in beta, predicting it up to 10 seconds in advance.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/thoughts-after-61-shaker-7-rules-bcdr/) [14 August 2014 — 2 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 8: Automate – Simplify your Life.

Nobody can tell you better than the actual user how the solution works, how the deployment process went, and what support they are getting. Especially so in DR space: customers don’t like talking about it, as if being (even potentially) associated with a disaster makes them look bad. Only those who really trust their solution, have tested it and know it works, are capable to freely share this information. Some even see it as a competitive advantage – like in case, the statement “Your Money is Safe with Us” goes beyond and above of what it usually implies when coming from a bank with strong, proven DR solution in place. Your data is safe, your applications will be accessible, and our service will be available. In the end of the day, it’s all about peace of mind – for the management, internal users, and their customers.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/highland-bank-your-money-and-data-applications-services-are-safe-us/)
