Automated backup programs by the name itself implies that it is used for eliminating the daily pressure of having to manually back up an organization's critical data opens valuable time that can be dedicated to other responsibilities. But one must take care not to become overconfident in an automated backup.

It is a true fact that Automated backup programs makes things easy for administrators. But just because a backup operation is scheduled does not mean that backup procedure will complete. Electrical outages occur. Thunderstorms intervene. Backup media fills. Backup drives get dirty. Systems freeze. The list of elements that could derail a backup is unending. Thus one should never consider backups covered just because they've been scheduled. Instead, make reviewing backup logs a daily routine. Better yet, make restoring backups to test their efficacy a regular event.
