Having an online backup system will save your day should your premises ever burn down, or the fireproof box containing your backup disks get stolen.

Our online backup service offers an alternative to optical or tape backup solutions. While traditional methods can be very effective, they require capital to set up and staff to operate them. An online backup system avoids these issues.

To take advantage of our service you will require a broadband line which will connect to our remote server over the internet, and transfer data to it at whatever interval you think appropriate.

You, the user, selects the files to be backed up, and our software manages the internet connection, encrypts and compresses the data before transferring it across the internet to a secure, remote location, and allows you to view and restore the backed up documents and restore then whenever you like.

The Advantages:

• Disaster recovery options offered by offsite storage
• Ease of use.
• No capital outlay is required for purchasing new or updating equipment.
• No ongoing media costs or staff costs,
• Running costs are limited to paying a monthly fee.
• Setup and installation is a simple, and takes only a few minutes.
• Data recovery is equally fast, as there is no searching for the right tape or waiting for staff to recover lost data.
• The backup process itself is completely automated which ensures that it gets done, and the backed up files can then be accessed by anyone with permission, allowing file sharing with travelling colleagues, clients, or home PCs.

Security:

Though you may have understandable concerns about a third party holding your most valuable data, in reality online backups are very secure. Before being transferred, your backed up data is encrypted to 128-bit level - military grade - making it effectively impossible for any one to intercept or decrypt the data - you are the only person who can read it.

Another common concern is about the security of the data storage centre itself. Ours is a class-A facilities equipped with fire suppression, security cameras, personnel access controls, backup electricity generators, using multiple ISPs, high-end firewalls, and clustering and mirroring techniques to ensure the stored data is always available to you. Except in exceptional cases, the storage premises will be more secure than your own premises.
