Online Backup
Is Online Backup Right for your Business?
Traditionally, tape based backup solutions are highly manual and can take up hours of time for expensive IT staff. Tapes are often unreliable and are prone to human error. Even if a backup appears to have completed it may be impossible to restore critical data when files are lost or Servers crash.
“34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, of those that do, 77% have found tape backup failures” Research by the Boston Computing Network
More and more companies are turning to remote, managed, offsite Online Backup to protect their data, giving peace of mind that when, and if, the worst happens they will not only survive the disaster, but their business will be back up and running again in a matter of hours.
