| For the last 30 years we have relied upon tape back-up to safeguard our businesses against disaster, but new dynamics, such as bandwidth accessibility and affordable disk storage, are now driving the move towards an automated online system. Analysts report that tape based back-ups can fail between 20% and 50% of the time and that most businesses do not even test their tapes. With these statistics, there is a definite need to simplify the process and remove any human intervention that may be contributing to these numbers.
ONLINE BACKUP
- Increased reliability - 100% success rate
- Reduced backup time - with incremental backup
- Reduced costs - using an automated system
- Increased protection - data is stored in two data centres
- Increased security - all data is AES encrypted
- Increased efficiency - backup is performed remotely
- Increased compatibility - multiple platforms are compatible
Online back-up is successful as it eliminates the complexities and manual aspects of data protection. It works in three stages; firstly a program is run through your company’s server. The data is then transmitted over an encrypted internet line. Thirdly, this data is stored onto hard disks for easy and quick recovery.
Unlike tape back-up, online systems also offer continuous data protection. This ensures access to the latest versions of your document which may not be possible with an overnight procedure. If online back-up sounds simple, then that is because it is. The entire worry and responsibility is managed by Technical Specialists who monitor the systems 24/7.
