Backupify Urges Businesses to Protect Themselves on World Backup Day

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - March 21, 2013 - PRLog -- March 31st marks the 3rd annual World Backup Day, a “holiday” designed to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our digital assets. As stories of web application vulnerability fill the news, World Backup Day is a sobering reminder that even the most trusted cloud-based applications could fall prey to malicious attacks, user error and downtime. This year, Backupify, the leading provider of cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solutions, is challenging everyone to be proactive and prevent SaaS data loss before it happens.  

“We want to educate people about the realities of data loss,” says Rob May, CEO of Backupify, “and World Backup Day is a platform that lets us encourage businesses who have moved their data to the cloud to be proactive in protecting their data, and have some fun while we do it.”

In the two weeks leading up to World Backup Day, Backupify is releasing 2 eCards, encouraging people to backup their online data. New customers will get their first month of backup free and a Plan B kit containing creative ideas for keeping their data safe such as ninjas, attack dogs, and security cases. There will also be a chance for anyone to ask Backupify CEO, Rob May any backup related or data security questions on Reddit on Sunday, March 31st from 5-7pm EST.

You can get your World Backup Day eCard and sign up for a free month of backup on the Backupify blog at http://blog.backupify.com/2013/03/21/world-backup-day-is-almost-here.
