Secure Offsite Data Backup
Computer Techniques recommends
business use a hardware-based solution to conduct their
automatic local and offsite data backups. We can provide you
with an innovative hardware-based backup solution that provides
automatic local and offsite data backup. This solution is geared
to meet the important demands of small to large businesses at
prices everyone can afford.
Everyone knows that having a good
data backup plan is a critical part of business today. From hard
drives that develop bad sectors to the possibility of fire, bad
things can happen. Having a reliable data recovery plan in place
can mean the difference between your business not missing a beat
or losing thousands of hours of work.
Taking your Backups Offsite
Offsite just means any location other than where your data
is primarily used. This is basically an insurance measure in
case something drastic like a fire or hurricane physically
destroys the assets that you keep in your locations where data
is backed up from. If that unfortunate event happens, you will
know that you have a copy or several copies of this important
information stored somewhere else.
With Offsite backups you can automatically and securely transfer
your data backups to multiple offsite locations that are
physically and technically secure. Automatic offsite data backup
service can help organizations comply with legal regulations
that require them to have appropriate controls of their data
like HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. Since the process of getting your
data to these locations is a secure transfer over your existing
broadband connection, there is no time in which your important
data is traveling around in a car or briefcase. Your data is
always 100% secure.
Compare Offsite Backups with
Tape
Unlike tapes, offsite backups require no day-to-day labor. The
automatic off site backup service allows you to custom tailor a
data backup solution that you know will protect your data day in
and day out. Also, taps have a technical annual failure
rate anywhere from 1 to 12 percent. That is why you maintain
multiple tapes from previous days with daily snapshots. If the
first tape does not restore, hopefully the next one in the
rotation will. Some estimates put the number of tape restores
that will fail from either a technical or administrative mistake
as high as 71 percent! On the other hand, Offsite Backups can
store as many file versions as you want at multiple secure
offsite locations using highly redundant storage servers. |
