Remote Backup Service

How do you protect your company's valuable data?

The popular online encyclopedia www.wikipedia.org says, "A remote backup service or online backup service provides users with an online system for backing up and storing valuable computer files.

CCC Networks Inc. offers remote backup services that prevent data loss due to events such as:

• A hard drive crash
• User error
• Fire or flood damage
• Computer theft
• Deleting the wrong files
• Your backups becoming corrupted
• Loss or damage to employees' laptops or personal computers
• Data loss or destruction due to a virus
• The person responsible for your backup being on holiday
• Computer damage as a result of lightening, surges or power outages

A common system for backing up data is to use tape drives or DVDs; however, this can be expensive, time consuming and futile for the following reasons:

• Ultimately, you need a place to store the tape drives or DVDs and no matter where you put them, they run the risk of being lost, damaged or stolen
• If you have lots of employees working on their own individual workstations you either have to assign a person to go around and manually backup all the systems, or you have to trust that each employee knows how to do it properly and will do it everyday.
• Eventually you will have so many DVDs or tapes it will become difficult to store them and extremely difficult to locate a specific item in the event that you need to do a recovery

Using Remote Backup Services eliminates many of the problems that accompany the standard way of backing up data. Here is a list of just some of the many advantages to backing up your data through a remote system:

• Ease of Use: Does not require any work on behalf of any of your employees
• No Computer Slow-Down: The backup can take place at any time, so it can be programmed to occur during your businesses' "off-hours" (evenings, weekends etc) so as not to slow down your computer while you are trying to work
• Instant Restoration: If a file is lost, email restoration to the person who needs it can be done instantaneously
• Daily and Monthly Backups: Backup occurs daily and monthly. Daily backups ensure that your files are constantly being updated, while monthly backups exist in case anything is needed from a later date. This protects you in two ways - you will always have an up-to-date version of your files from the previous day, but you will also have a back-up from the month before in case an employee ever inadvertently overwrites an important file
• Maximum Security: We back up from a very secure server located in Dallas, Texas. It has multiple back-up generators, firewalls and sophisticated fiber-optics ensuring that your data is always safe
• Geographical Protection: Having your data stored in a different location than were you work offers the added protection of geography. In the event of a fire or other natural disaster that completely destroys your bricks and mortar facility, you have all your important data store in a distant location
• Cost Efficient: Unlike traditional methods of backup, the more employees you have the more cost-effective remote backup becomes. Multiple users can be backed up at the same time for the same price
