One way that companies avoid data loss is through image backup, a continuous backup method that takes a perfect carbon copy image of a drive or an entire system. In honor of World Backup Day on March 31st, Joel Berman, an Acronis fellow and longtime IT professional, explains how image backup works — and how it can help IT managers recover quickly from a system failure:](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/data-recovery-101-image-backup-explained/)

On April 8, Microsoft will discontinue support and updates to the more than decade-old operating system. The deadline is no secret, but that doesn't mean businesses are ready for life beyond XP. More than 95 percent of ATMs in the U.S., for example, still run on the soon-to-expire OS, highlighting the data protection and security hurdles businesses must deal with. Here's a look at what the experts around the web have to say about XP's final days and other data-related IT challenges:](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/end-windows-xp-and-putting-people-technology-weekly-roundup/)

The slew of connected, "smart" devices remind us how far the Internet's come since its humble beginnings 25 years ago this week. But it begs the question: Where will all this wearable and mobile data get stored? Here's a look at what the experts have to say about that, and other IT challenges, in an increasingly data-driven world:](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/internet-things-takes-sxsw-storm-web-turns-25-weekly-roundup/)

But despite the benefits, including lower costs and increased employee productivity, there's lingering suspicion among IT pros about whether these technologies, and what trends like BYOD leave in their wake, put sensitive company data at risk. The anxiety is understandable — data protection, after all, is top of mind for IT managers — but that anxiety is often misplaced.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/why-byod-isnt-blame-compromised-data/)
