One way they can avoid such a situation is to subscribe to [business continuity email](/content/email-continuity/business-email-continuity) services. ![email continuity](https://media.mailhop.org/duocircle/images/2019/02/email-phishing-protection.png) ### Email Continuity – The Concept _**Email continuity** helps businesses receive and send emails when the primary email server is down_. For a simple [email continuity definition](/content/email-continuity/email-continuity-definition), It can be stated that it acts as a substitute system for the regular email server. I\_t ensures that the business keeps functioning despite the primary email server being inaccessible\_. _Email continuity is essential to keep the communication channels intact_, for it offers excellent features like **email backup service** and [email failover](/content/email-continuity/email-failover). This feature enables the organizations to receive the complete details of all email correspondence (inward and outward) made during the server downtime period. ### Email Backup Service – The Benefits An **email backup service** is essential for all businesses because of the following reasons - While [email continuity](/content/email-continuity) allows businesses to continue sending and receiving emails despite the regular email servers being down, _email backup ensures a record of every email sent or received during this period_. - This backup ensures that the restoration of email messages becomes accessible after the regular email servers start functioning. - **Email backups** are useful for end-users as it allows them to restore lost emails quickly. - Most importantly, _email backups help in meeting compliance requirements_. ![email failover](https://media.mailhop.org/duocircle/images/2019/10/backup-mx-service.png)![email continuity service](https://media.mailhop.org/duocircle/images/2019/10/mx-backup-service.png) ### Email Backup Service Vs. Email Archiving Many people confuse **email backup** service and email archiving. _**Email archiving** ensures that the email data remains available and retrievable at any point in time_. It is essential for every business as it can prove helpful to the company later, especially if there is a dispute or query from law-enforcing agencies. Generally, an _email backup service is there to store data for short and medium terms_. This concept allows the business to take out copies of the entire data sets, whereby they can be stored in an external storage device or cloud environment with the option of restoration at a later date. Thus, one can state that email backup is there in case there is a need for [disaster recovery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaster%5Frecovery) rather than regulatory compliance. _Email continuity ensures that the organization doesn’t miss time-sensitive business during a mail-server downtime_, and the end-user never realizes that there was an outage. As the organization keeps sending and receiving emails during this period, the email backup service maintains each email’s records, thereby enabling easy restoration after a regular email server’s resumption. ##### Join the thousands of organizations that use DuoCircle --- Find out how affordable it is for your organization today and be pleasantly surprised.
