Having a tape backup is no longer sufficient in backing up your client data and records. As demonstrated in the article above, backup tapes can go missing and also are subject to restore failures. Why Online backup?
- Hassle free and convenient. You can schedule when you want your backups to take place.
- No need to remember to take a copy. Backups are automatic and can be taken daily.
- Low cost. No tape, zip drives or local media to purchase, no staff training or staff involvement.
- Multiple file versions kept. You can recover earlier versions of the files you have stored.
- Secure and efficient transmission of data. Your information is encrypted and compressed before it is sent.
- A single solution. You can backup servers, desktops and laptops at the same time.
- Secure data storage. State of the art data storage facilities with 24/7 monitoring and support.
- Know what's there. You can clearly see what files and folders have been backed up.
- Confidence in your data security. Your files are secured with an encryption key that only you have access to.
DataSafe Services have been providing a fully managed secure online data backup and restore service since 1995. They aim to minimise the amount of organisational time in setting-up backups, performing them, managing them and restoring data when it is required. Their proprietary software, which can be installed on anything from a laptop to a server enables your backup to be configured precisely to your requirements, eliminating unnecessary files to reduce time and cost. They check your backups each day and resolve any issues or anomalies they might see.
All versions of all files are kept for a minimum of two years and longer if required, providing an irrefutable audit trail of any changes (as all the data is encrypted).
Large restore times are minimised through the use of removable hard drives while for smaller restores, they will lead you through the process.
There is no storage limit as they do not charge for what you store but only for what you backup each month.
