Backup secures your business against data loss
You may have your IT operations under control. But what about your backup strategy? Has it kept pace with increasing digitalisation ? A backup solution may not sound sexy. But an effective strategy can quickly turn out to be one of the most crucial IT investments in your business.
An effective backup solution provides peace of mind
IT should rhyme with peace of mind. With a remote backup (online backup), you get a backup of all your company's data. Every single day.
You don't have to worry. Or spend time on it. We make sure all your company data is automatically sent offsite to our highly secure server facilities. And don't worry - data is encrypted before sending so no one else can see your data.
#1
Security against data loss
Is your organisation's data only stored locally? Then it could be at risk in the event of hardware failure, theft, natural disasters and other unforeseen events.
Remote backup secures your business against permanent data loss as the data is stored on a remote server.
#2
Protection against ransomware
If your business is attacked by ransomware or malware, local data could be encrypted or destroyed.
With remote backup, your organisation has the ability to restore data from before the attack and avoid paying the ransom.
#3
Comply with legislation
Some industries and countries have strict regulations on data storage and protection.
Having remote backup helps your business comply with these regulations by ensuring that data is stored securely and can be restored when needed.
Four quick questions and answers for remote backup
What is remote backup?
Remote backup, also known as "file-based backup", is a way to ensure that your data is not lost. This can be in the event of water damage, fire and theft or cyberattacks.
How does remote backup work?
Remote backup automatically takes backups at a frequency or schedule that we define together. This will typically be at night. To ensure that no one can access your data, it is encrypted so that only you have access.
How secure is remote backup?
The short answer is: very secure. To ensure that no one can access your data, all data is encrypted before it is sent for backup in our data centres. We also take a copy of your backup, which is sent to one of our secondary data centres. So you can sleep soundly at night.
Are backup and disaster recovery the same thing?
No, backup and disaster recovery are not the same. But they complement each other to form a complete solution. Disaster recovery involves not only restoring data but ensuring that your entire technological infrastructure can be restored or continued in the event of a disaster.
