Online Backup Services and Server Back Up

Online backup services give IT managers, corporations and business owners some very distinct advantages across a number of different factors.

Modern And Robust Solution

Many file servers use antiquated tape back up systems that are in many cases never tested to confirm the integrity of the backed up data. Tapes can get damaged and if the backup drive fails and is more than a year or so old often you cannot replace it with an identical unit which means that even though you have a tape backup you may not be able to restore your data which is a vital requirement of business continuity.

Quick Access To Lost Data

Online backup systems use state of the art data centres so in the event of a server failure within your business you can get near immediate access to your essential (and often critical) data, so business can continue with minimal fuss and disruption which is a major time saver and radically reduces any potential business downtime.This is a critical component of any disaster recovery plan.

No Onsite Servers To Maintain (Unless You Want To)

With remote backup services data is backed up direct to the data centre for safe keeping the requirement to have a server onsite is redundant for most businesses. This not only reduces IT overheads but also negates the need to manage tape backup, which can be quite time consuming if your backup capacity is lower than the amount of data you are storing.

An additional benefit is that the old "server room" can be put to other use and their is no further need to run cooling or air-conditioning systems which gives a energy cost saving.

Some business may still however wish to keep a local copy of their data on an onsite storage system or server for a variety of reasons. This is not a problem as this configuration can be included in any disaster recovery protocol you wish to implement.

Secure Data Encryption Algorithms

One of the concern that some businesses have is the level of security of their data which is very understandable fortunately our remote backup data centres are much more secure than a majority of businesses own servers. Not only do the data centres employ their own server side security protocols and procedures but even physical access is limited.

And if that was not enough our solution incorporates a number of different encryption algorithms including 128/256bit encryption, Two Fish, Triple DES, AES and even user configurable encryption.
