Democratizing Data Protection: The Death of the Backup Admin

In today’s evolving IT landscape, the role of a dedicated backup administrator is becoming less centralized as many organizations shift to modern technology stacks like cloud and SaaS, which are increasingly managed by IT generalists. This trend aligns with findings in Deloitte’s 2023 Global Technology Leadership Study, which highlights a growing preference for versatile IT roles to better support cross-functional needs and adaptability across multiple areas of IT. Additionally, Microsoft’s 2023 report on the "New Future of Work" supports this shift, showing how AI and automation enable generalists to work across domains without deep specialization.

Cyber-attack is inevitable. Data loss need not be.

As a Product Director at Arctera, I’m especially excited about the transformative impact of Backup Exec in helping organizations combat critical data threats, with ransomware standing out as one of the most pervasive challenges. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in particular often face challenges such as limited resources and growing complexity, making it difficult to safeguard critical information. This is where Backup Exec comes in - offering a reliable, simple, and cost-effective solution to protect against data loss resulting from ransomware, malware and insider attacks, irrespective of where that data lives – on-premises in physical and virtual infrastructures, in cloud data platforms or in Microsoft 365.
