I love the backup software my company is now using (thanks to me) so much. We can restore any server or laptop to Azure, or Hyper-V, with a click:

This gives us a nearly-foolproof backup strategy and makes us immune to ransomware attacks. Even if the entire company is wiped out and every file we have encrypted, as long as we catch it within 30 days (we’d notice within minutes), we can have the entire company’s essential infrastructure back up and running in a matter of hours.

The software is Veeam Backup and Replication, if anyone is wondering. While it’s not the easiest to set up, it works perfectly and never does anything unexpected.

Most small companies have terrible backup strategies. There’s no excuse for that anymore, though. It’s just too easy to do it right these days.
