Remote Backup
Why do IT Consultants always go on about backups?
Because we know that technology is not infallible!
How important are backups?
The question should be: ‘What would it cost my business if I lost my data?’ For most businesses the answer is: time, effort, money and potentially existing customers and future business. In short, it would be a nightmare.Why take this risk when there are so many cost-effective solutions available?
The entry level account for this recommended solution is FREE. For small and medium businesses, back ups are often an afterthought and not done in a regular structured way. This is usually because the system is not automated and easy to use. Therefore it is easy to forget or put it off. The solution we are proposing will change this.Mozy has the features we believe most suit small and medium businesses:

- Flexible: You can dig into the details of your hard drive and get specific about files and directories you want Mozy to take care of

If you are operating a server-based network, backups should be a part of your daily routine. This can be automated, but you should still check the back up has run successfully and that the back up data can actually be restored. If you do not have a backup system already, then Mozy Plus may be an option. If you would like any assistance with this and want to improve your back up procedures please contact us.
