Just because your data is in the cloud does not make it safe.

Moving to the cloud provides numerous benefits to businesses today. Platforms like Qlik Cloud offer flexibility, scalability, and seamless access to analytics from anywhere. But here’s the catch: just because your data lives in the cloud does not mean it is automatically safe from loss; you will need a Qlik Cloud backup.

Why do you need to backup your Qlik Cloud?

Many people believe or think that Qlik will have their backs when it comes to data protection. While Qlik does a great job of ensuring platform availability and security, your actual data and apps are not protected by an automatic backup safety net.

Think about this:

• Accidental deletions happen. Have you ever deleted something you immediately regretted? Without a backup, you might not get it back.

• Data corruption is real. Bugs and sync errors, although rare, can happen. With features like Application Automation, a single buggy or misconfigured automation can cause a lot of damage.

• Human errors are unavoidable. Mistakes happen, whether through accidental overwrites or team members deleting important apps, data flows, or glossaries.

• Security threats exist. Malicious attacks or insider threats could put your critical analytics at risk.

How Bitmetric handles backups

Because Qlik Cloud does not include built-in backups for your apps and other assets, it is your responsibility to make sure those critical assets are protected. What is the best way to do this? A dedicated backup solution that gives you control over your data.

At Bitmetric, we have built a simple, reliable, and cost-effective Qlik Cloud Backup service to make sure applications, scripts, automations, and other important assets are always safe.

The service is free of charge for all clients on our support plan, and it is at a reduced price for clients who purchase their Qlik subscriptions through us. We are now offering this as a stand-alone service to any Qlik Cloud user that needs a solid and reliable backup solution.

Do not wait until it’s too late

The reality is, you don’t think about backups until you need them. By that time, it is too late. If Qlik Cloud is an important part of your business, you must have a solid backup strategy. It’s essential.
