NAS vs Cloud Backup for Small Business
Choose the right backup architecture by balancing recovery speed, budget, and risk profile.
There is no single best backup architecture for every company.
When NAS helps
- Fast local restores
- Control over storage lifecycle
- Useful for large file workflows
When cloud helps
- Off-site resilience
- Lower maintenance overhead
- Better geo-redundancy options
Most businesses benefit from a hybrid model: local plus cloud.
