World Backup Day – Easter Sunday 31st March
This Sunday is an important date in the Calendar – not only is it Easter Sunday, but it’s also World Backup Day!
World Backup Day, observed on March 31st, is an initiative to raise awareness about the importance of regular data backups. It serves as a reminder for individuals and businesses to protect their valuable digital information by creating secure copies that can be restored in case of data loss due to hardware failures, cyberattacks, or other disasters.
As a Veeam Cloud Provider, Fusion IT places its faith in the Veeam product range, due to its capability, reliability and ease of use.
Veeam, a global leader in backup solutions and data management, actively participates in World Backup Day by engaging with their community and Partners like Fusion. Celebrations and activities often include educational webinars, contests, and social media campaigns to promote best practices in data backup and recovery.
For instance, Veeam has previously held contests inviting users to share personal stories of how backups have saved their data, or lessons learned from instances where a lack of backup led to data loss. These initiatives not only highlight the critical role of backups, but also foster a sense of community among Users and Partners.
In recent years, Veeam has expanded the scope of their World Backup Day activities to include discussions on broader topics such as cyber resilience and the importance of having a comprehensive data protection strategy. This reflects the evolving landscape of data security and the need for a more holistic approach to safeguarding digital assets.
I solemnly swear to backup my important documents and precious memories on March 31st. #WorldBackupDay

The benefits of Veeam Backup and Replication solutions are numerous. They offer comprehensive data protection across cloud, virtual, and physical environments. The solutions are built for speed with image-based, single-pass backups and have a portable backup format that is cloud-agnostic.
