World-wide trends
The
concept of remote or off-site backup is not new.
In fact, remote backup has been around
for over a decade in the USA.
The
large corporations of the world and government departments have been
using remote backups for many, many years. They have had the necessary
infrastructure, the IT departments and the large amounts of finance
required to set up their own dedicated remote backup installations
with purpose built buildings and data storage servers.
Only
in the last decade has this technology and resource been available
to the small and medium size businesses. World-wide there has been
a trend toward the use of remote backup services by small and medium
size businesses. With data file sizes increasing in size and number,
and with the variety of files now held on computer systems such as
tax details, scans of logos, photos and various docu-ments, accounting
system data files, spreadsheets, etc, businesses simply cannot afford
to lose this information in a disaster. Some information can be retyped
from paper trails . . . if the paper trail has survived the disaster.
But, how do you replace data such as client history dating back, say,
10 years?

The cost of backing up
Let's
say that you currently have someone backing up your accounting system
each day on disk or tape drives. The backup process, including proper
verification may take a total of 15 minutes. A person being paid $20
per hour is costing you $5 per day in order to do the backup. That
equates to $100 per month which is still cheap insurance considering
the risk if it is not done. However, you still have not backed up
any updated critical files such as databases, quotes, projects, scans,
spreadsheets, important correspondence,
etc. How will the person responsible for backups know what is required
to be backed up on the day?
You
may be surprised to find that DataSavers backs up all your
data files and any other files you choose to nominate, at the end
of each day, automatically, reliably and probably for less than what
it currently costs you to do manually.
