Business as usual

Secure reliable data backups are more crucial than ever to businesses today, if a piece of information should become lost or corrupted there are dozens of other businesses eager to take the business away.  Secure offsite backups can offer a great deal of benefits over conventional backups which you may not yet have realised.  Here are some of traditional challenges faced using conventional tape backups:

• Tapes need to be changed each day by a member of staff
• Tapes need to be securely stored offsite on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis
• Backup results need to be checked daily
• New tapes need to be purchased annually to ensure data integrity
• High investment cost involved in initial installation
• Only backed up once a day

Secure offsite online backups can help to eleviate all of the above issues.  The backup software can be configured to run each day and any data which has changed will be updated on the remote backup server via an industry standard SSL link.  Once this has completed then an email report will be sent to so you are able to see if there were any issues.  This means that once complete the data is stored offsite so should the worst happen simply connect to the internet and download you data.  You will also only pay for the amount of storage that you require, so if you only require business critical data to be stored offsite then you only pay for the storage to complete this.  Since all of the data is located in a secure data centre there is no longer any need to replace tapes on a yearly basis all of which help to reduce your headaches.

Also, with our specialist software we are able to provide Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which means that by attaching a local storage device (i.e. NAS device, USB Hard Disk) you can also have a local backup of data which can include all of the data on the server which can be configured to run at near-realtime to ensure that you have the most comprehensive data protection.
