Back, Back, Back It Up!

Awe ... a new year. Time for new resolutions, right? Well if you're a business owner and look to 2010 to be the year where you thrive, having a system that backs up your company's vital information and works in the fashion your operation works is one resolution you can't skimp on this year.

Why is back up important?
Just think about it. You walk into the office, turn on your computer and nothing happens. You try again ... still nothing. Long story short, you computer crashes and all data is gone. It happens all the time and it's just one reason backing up your computer is paramount to the success of your business.

So why is it so important? Seems like a simple question to answer. But many business struggle knowing what kind of backup is needed within their company's operations. Many choices exist including on site back up and off site back up. Now that we're located in the 1102 Grand building, we can offer an even wider range of backup options that are just steps away from our office ... literally!

Why are many businesses choosing off site back up?
In a recent blog post, we chat about the reasons why people are choosing off site back up over on site back up. And, while both are effective ways to conduct business, as organizations are seeing more and more volumes of data, tape back ups just don't provide as much secure storage option as often is needed. Check out this article about 10 Tips to Preventing a Computer Disaster in 2010.


What can an off site back up do to improve my business?
The tape back up systems that companies once used to help safely store important information overnight are now being replaced by an even more secure back up system. Through off site back up, an organization's data is backed up automatically on the server at an interval that meets the business demands. Some organizations choose to have it backed up hourly, while others still stick with once a day back ups. In addition to secure storage, off site back up systems also remove the risk of tapes being lost, stolen or damaged while outside the office or of being left at home when next due for updating. The peace of mind off storage provides business owners is just one reason so many organizations are turning to this solution.
