Data Backup Solution for Small Business

Don't lose your business data - Protect against losing all your business data with a safe, reliable, automated process for backing up important files, accounting records, contact databases, photos, financial documents, music, email and other computer-based data via the Internet.




Why Data Backup Solution?

Studies show that 93% of businesses that suffer a serious data loss will be out of business within 5 years. Not only is this because the data itself is critical to your operation, but the process of rebuilding it from scratch represents a significant use of time and money. It isn't enough to simply take the information home on a disk or some other storage device. For example, during the Katrina disaster, people lost both their business-based data and their home storage.

Avoid disaster by using a convenient, automated data backup solution that encrypts your data and places it in a secure, remote location online for retrieval 24/7/365.

Data Backup Features and Benefits

When evaluating a backup solution provider, be sure to look for a company with a reputation for reliability and one that offers the following features and benefits:

  1. Simple set up
  2. Automatic backup in the background while you continue to work
  3. File encryption before transferring to storage
  4. Fast speeds where only data that has changed is backed up
  5. Backup of both open and locked files per your designation and authorization

What to Avoid

Data loss can happen as a result of theft, national disaster, equipment failure, file corruption, employee malice, accident and other unforeseen events. When it does happen, your business suffers in many ways including:

  • Not having the data you need to make intelligent business decisions - you simply won't know what is going on in your business
  • Financial loss due to not being able to fill client requests and loss of customer confidence
  • Being out of compliance with regulatory requirements for maintaining data integrity
