You probably don’t need anyone to tell you how important it is to frequently backup business data, but if those backups are stored only at the office, you’re still rolling the dice. One need only look at recent news stories about fires, floods and tornadoes to get a sense of the potential risks involved. Unless a backup copy is stored safely off premises, you’re still vulnerable to catastrophic data loss.

One obvious way to address this risk is to take backups off site. Another is to back up to an offsite server, which is where the Datto Backup 100 comes in. This NAS device’s remote backup feature automatically duplicates its data to an online storage server, ensuring a redundant copy is always stored safely out of harm’s way.
