Why DIY Disaster Recovery No Longer Works
Downtime does not just cost money, it chips away at credibility, customer trust, and operational momentum. Many businesses still cling to do-it-yourself disaster recovery strategies, hoping that basic backups and internal procedures will be enough. Unfortunately, hope is not a plan and when disaster strikes, the cracks in DIY systems are brutally exposed.
Ransomware threats evolve daily. Data sprawl stretches across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid infrastructures. ERP platforms like Epicor and Prophet 21 are mission-critical, and recovering them requires deep system knowledge, layered security protocols, and a real-time game plan. That is not something most internal teams can build and maintain alone, especially when IT resources are already stretched thin.
Outsourcing disaster recovery to a managed service provider (MSP) is not just smart, it is strategic. MSPs with expertise in cloud architecture, cybersecurity frameworks, and ERP continuity offer much more than backup monitoring. They bring resilience as a service. Through automated failover, geo-redundant infrastructure, immutable backups, and AI-assisted recovery plans, these experts ensure businesses stay up and running, even under fire.
MSPs also eliminate the guesswork. They assess recovery plans regularly, align solutions with compliance requirements, and stay ahead of emerging threats. So, when the unexpected happens, whether it is a cyberattack, system failure, or natural disaster, response is immediate, coordinated, and proven.
