Online offsite backup made easy

The vital data that is essential to your business operations can be open to attack unless defended by a 100% secure backup system. Events such as loss of power, technical or hardware malfunctions, viruses, fire, water damage or theft can be catastrophic for you and your company, if your electronic information is unprotected. In these unfortunate situations having a backup or offsite backup service is critical, especially in today's unpredictable world, where the dangers or complications that may lie ahead are unknown.

The old saying that 'Data is King' is never more applicable than if you have just lost yours. Machines can be replaced, orders can be re-entered, and contact details can be requested again..... BUT all this takes time to do, what if your last successful backup was weeks ago.... what about your accounts information? The last set of orders you placed with suppliers? How much time and money would you lose?

There is only a 30% survival rate for UK businesses that suffer significant data loss

Your company’s data is an asset that needs to be protected. The far reaching consequences of losing this data is a place where no business wants to find themselves, yet it is estimated that:

• 70% of businesses fail within 18 months
• 99% of businesses do not have a proper daily backup routine in place
• 80% of businesses who actually carry out data backups still employ a tape media back up strategy
• 60% of businesses critical data is held on laptops
• 51% of businesses who lose their data fail within 2 Years

The use of tape media significantly increases the risk of failure of a backup and or recovery. This also introduces the potential of human error for lost or misplaced tapes. This impact both in terms of the amount of manual intervention required to operate the system, and in the time lost in the physical retrieval of the required media. The more traditional methods of backing up data are often abused or mismanaged, opening up a high degree of risk and security breech.
