Why use off-site backups?

Once you start using remote backup, you'll never have to remember to back up your files again. The entire process takes place automatically, as scheduled, in the background. In fact, you may even forget its running. It's affordable, too. Consider what it would cost to pay someone (or yourself) to back up your files every day. Plus, our backup service doesn't get sick, or take vacations.

How does off-site backup work?

Our remote backup software is easy to install and simple to use. You can run the installation program from over the Internet, and install the software on the machine that contains the data you want to back up, or that can connect to the network drives you want to back up. During installation, you provide a password that is used to encrypt the data being backed up. This encryption ensures privacy and confidentiality during transmission to our secure data storage facility.

Once installation is complete, you run the backup program, and select the files you want to back up. You can create multiple backup sets with different options, including how often the you want to back up the files, which files to include in the backup, and the type of backup to perform.

Description:

	Full Backups -- Backs up every file you select, regardless if the file has changed or not. This method guarantees that all of your data is backed up on the date the backup is run. Should you ever need to restore your data, you won't have to restore any backups prior to this one.
	Incremental Backups -- Backs up only the files that have changed since the last full or incremental backup. This is the most commonly used backup method, since it avoids duplicate copies of the same file. Files that are backed up are marked, so they won't be backed up again until they are changed. If you have to restore your data, you will need to include each incremental backup since your last full backup to make sure all your files are up to date.
	Differential Backups -- Works like the incremental backup, except that files are not marked as backed up. Use this method to make multiple backups of the same file, or if you are using a tape backup system in addition to remote backup.

Once you have created your backup sets, the backup program continues to run in the background, waiting for the next scheduled time to run. When it's time to start a backup, the program determines the files that need to be backed up, and compresses and encrypts them. The program establishes a connection with our remote data storage facility, establishing a dial up connection if necessary. The encrypted files are then sent over the Internet, where they are safely stored in case you need them.

Should you ever need to restore your files, you start the backup program, and choose the restore option. You'll see a list of each backup you have run. Choose the files you want to restore, and they are sent back to your computer, then unencrypted and restored to where they came from.

The Bottom Line:

Why should you consider an off-site back-up service for your business?

You want to protect your business files from a "catastrophic" situation, such as destruction of your home office by fire, flood or other natural disaster (disks can get burned, or ruined by water).
You don't want to hassle with purchasing new disks for your back-up drive and storing them in a safe place.
You travel a lot and are concerned that you could lose your laptop or suffer a serious technical problem with it while on the road. An off-site solution would allow you to back-up your files every time you logged into the Internet while on the road.
You have such a large amount of data that has to be backed-up that it would just be easier to send it one time to the off-site provider and then manage incremental additions and changes from that point. (Too many disks to manage!)

Do you have a business need that fits into one of the above categories? Then perhaps an off-site back-up solution is for you. Take the next step, and delve into the world of off-site back-up service providers.
