A decade ago, a company with 30 employees would have had half a dozen servers, a couple of dozens of PCs, and that’s it.

Complete replacement would not make sense because it would be more expensive, more time consuming, and take more resources to complete. And so it is with recovering cloud backups.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/incremental-recovery-backups-cloud-why-it-essential/) [11 April 2017 — 4 min read ![Image 4: It’s Racing Time!](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) PARTNER PROFILE: OzHosting.com — Pioneer of Australia’s Cloud Hosting Market This year OzHosting.com is celebrating its 20th anniversary of providing cloud hosting solutions on the Australian market.
