Keep Your Business IN Business by “Asking these 10 Critical Data Storage” Questions

If you answer “no” to any of these questions, your data is at risk and you may want to consider an offsite backup solution.”

An offsite backup solution, if you’ve never heard of one, allows you to backup your data to a secure, remote server from one or many of your business’ locations (also called remote data backup, online backup, internet backup). Secure, remote servers are housed in data centers which have a variety of security and power redundancy features.

Sending your data to the remote server is accomplished through software downloaded onto your computer that encrypts, or scrambles, your data and it’s sent via the Internet. Updates to your data are sent to the secure, remote server on a regular basis (daily, weekly, etc) for storage. If your office computers are not accessible for any reason, the stored data can be uploaded to a new onsite server and “decrypted” using a personal encryption key. And, you’re back in business.

Conventional backup methodologies, such as tape, CD Rom, and external hard drives have proven that they are just not good enough. The industry has found high failure rates during data restoration; difficulty in detecting problems of backup before performing restoration; slow read and write speed; high maintenance costs; expensive offsite storage of tape library; fixed capacity on backup media; and, increased likelihood of occurrence of negligence-induced problems (e.g. lost or misplaced data). Not to mention the fact that a person you trust has to monitor, test, update and secure them daily.

The good news is that advances in technology have allowed for the creation of an offsite backup solution that can be used by anyone with access to the Internet.
