Remote Backup can safeguard your business data.

Most people dont realise how much they rely upon the information on their computer until its gone. If all that information was lost would your business survive? Would you still have the details of your sales contacts? Would you be able to continue working on your current projects? Would you even know which customers had paid their invoices? Having a secure copy of all your business data isnt just a good idea - its vital to the survival of your business.

Remote Backup is a term used to describe a service offering a data backup facility that is accessed over your internet connection. Remote Backup services combine a software client that runs on your computer, and storage space on storage servers. As the name implies, Remote Backup services use a storage server that is not located on your premises. By using a remote storage facility, your information is not only backup up but also moved off-site. Many people who backup their computer leave the tape or disk containing their backup at the same location as their computer. If that location is destroyed then they not only lose their computer but the backup as well. Remote Backup services provide that extra level of security by keeping the backup copy of your information in an external location. Traditional off-site backup services involve couriers taking tapes or disk from your location to a wharehouse where they are stored. Remote Backup services store you data off-site without the expense of wharehousing and couriers.

Remote Backup services provide a cost effective way of achieving "big business" backup security at "small business" pricing. Because the infrastrucutre required to provide Remote Backup service is shared by a range of clients, the cost per customer is greatly reduced. The end user benefits greatly.
