Top 7 Reasons You Should Backup Your Data Online

1. The Statistics say you should.

• Among the companies that experience data loss, 50% never re-open and 90% are out of business within two years.
• 20MB of accounting data takes 21 days and costs £13,000 to reproduce.
• Causes of data loss – 42% Hardware Failure, 30% Human Error, 13% Software Corruption, 7% Computer Viruses, 5% Theft.

2. Easy. Online backups are a simple way to protect your data. Online backup services provide the software application, server space and customer service in one turnkey solution. There are no additional software applications or equipment specifications to learn. The installation and set-up is quick and painless. Your backups can be scheduled to run automatically at any time you desire. There is no media, tapes or hardware to deal with.

3. Security. Believe it or not, online backups are generally more secure than in-house backup solutions. If your computers or data are affected by natural disaster, power failure/surges, viruses, vandalism, theft, human error, etc., your in-house backup will suffer the same consequences. Another unfortunate thing about tape backups is that they are not generally encrypted, and not very secure. Almost anyone can read them and gain access to your clients, sales, prospects, notes, billing records, payroll, tax info, and anything else on your computer.

4. Inexpensive. Online backups give you more “bang for the buck.” Setting up a traditional data protection plan requires software, hardware, media and the man hours necessary to set-up and protect your data on a daily basis. Online backups combine all of these functions in one easy service for a low monthly or annual fee. The cost? If you or your staff spends as little as 10 minutes per day running a tape backup or burning a CD, figure just the cost of labour at about £100 per month. Add on top of that, the cost of CDs, or tapes and you’re spending 4 or 5 times the cost of the average online backup fee, which requires “no time” daily once your initial setup is done.

5. Quick File Restores. In the event you need to restore your lost data, you simply select the applicable files or volumes and with a click of the mouse all of your data is transferred to its original location. Your data is ALWAYS available 24 hours a day – 7 days a week. You can recover a single file or all of your files in a matter of minutes.

6. Peace of Mind. Knowing that your data is safe, secure and always available is enough reason to check out an online backup solution.

7. The Alternatives. You can’t afford the alternatives! Computer users spend millions of dollars annually to recover lost data. The data recovery industry is HUGE and continues to grow. Assuming that your data is even recoverable – expect it to be an expensive and time consuming ordeal. Obviously, it is best to be prepared in the first place.

Don’t fall into the old paradigm of “it will never happen to me.” While there is certainly a chance that you will never have a need for the backups you make of your files, if something does happen to your computer you will certainly be glad that you have them. And you do not have to backup your entire computer, although this is certainly something that many people do, but only the files that are of the most importance to you.
Some things are easily replaced, and there is no need to backup these sorts of things, but those irreplaceable documents or files that are yours and yours alone should be saved in a place where they cannot be damaged.

How does it Work?

Secure Online Backup is part of our security portfolio. We have the staff, expertise and experience to protect your valuable business data. Our expert technicians will talk you through the installation and configuration of our remote online backup services. An agent is downloaded from the ITMS Secure Online Backup website and Installed on the computer(s) to be backed up.
The administrator selects what data to back up; frequency of backups; time of backups; and how long the backup is retained in our vaults.
At the time selected, the agent compresses and encrypts the data, then transfers it to the ITMS Secure Online Backup primary data centre. The data is then backed up to a secondary remote data centre. The data is also backed up to traditional tape medium at our data centre.
If a restore is needed, client uses the Central Control tom select the data to be restored and the backup to restore from and the restore process begins immediately. The encrypted data is transmitted back to the computer where the agent decrypts and decompresses the data.
