The average business has $30,000 worth of
computer data. And, we have found that many of
them have little or no protection at all.
To a business owner, your data is priceless. The
loss of your data can put you out of business.
In fact, according to Home Office Computing
magazine, 30 percent of all businesses that have
a major fire go out of business within a year.
Seventy percent fail within five years.

Offsite Data Storage FAQ:
Q: What if we already have a tape backup
system?
Using a tape backup system and a remote backup
system offers the best of both worlds. Critical
files, like billing, customer contact files and
databases can be kept on the remote backup
system. While, the tape system can be used to
create a full backup of the entire system once
or twice a month, instead of on a daily basis.
The tapes and drive will last longer and require
less maintenance. The remote backup system can
provide a quick and easy way to retrieve
critical files and databases without the hassle
of searching through tapes.
Q: What if we already have a Zip drive?
Frankly, we believe that it is not optimal for
most users should not use a zip or other
removable disk media for backup. A remote backup
service is completely automated and has the
required file redundancy to protect important
data. The only safe way to use a zip drive for
backup is to have three disks and make the same
backup three times. That way when one of the
disk fails you are still protected.
Q: How long will a remote backup take?
Offices with high-speed internet connections
should find this service comparable with tape
drives. Dial up users will be able to do
incremental backups in thirty to sixty minutes.
The initial backup can take several nights to
complete. We recommend backing up the most
important files first and then selecting other
files as the backup progresses. Or, the initial
backup can be run over the weekend. Also, we can
come to your office and make the initial backup
of your system.
Q: Onsite, Offsite - What's The Difference?
Basically, remote backups work like regular tape
backups, with one important difference. Instead
of sending backups to a tape drive or other
media attached to the computer being backed up,
a remote backup sends encrypted file data over
the internet to a computer file storage system
safely off-site.
This usually happens at night while your
business is closed and nobody is using the
computers. It's completely automatic. In fact,
you may forget it's working every night.
Q: Why Are Remote Backups Considered More
Beneficial?
The data is immediately stored off-site using an
automated backup system. Also, only an internet
connection is needed. Completely eliminating the
need for expensive backup equipment and media.
And, since the system is automated, manual labor
is eliminated.
Q: How Secure Are Remote Backups?
Very. All files are encrypted using Blowfish or
DES encryption which is selected by the user
with their own personal encryption code which is
only known by the user of the system. Blowfish
encryption has never been broken by a hacker.
DES is used by the federal banking system.
Q: What is encryption?
Encryption is basically a mathematical formula
that scrambles a data file. And the only way to
unscramble it is with the encryption code.
