Online Data Storage

 Are you protected?
Business data loss can ruin any company. Most businesses still backup to tape or external drive which is the correct "first" step for quick retrieval. Also, every week they might rotate their media and move copies to their safety deposit box or just take it home. 

But if a disaster struck the entire area, would you still be able to recover your needed data? If a theft occurred and even the external hard drive was taken, would you still have a recent copy somewhere? If assigned personnel forgets to regularly "switch" out the media, how old will the data backup be? How long would it take to reinput a weeks worth of data or even several months? When is the last time the backup jobs were verified that proofs you are backing up every important database, folder or file? When is the last time a disaster recovery "test run" was performed to show that your backups are actually there or at least not corrupted?
 
We can help
We can easily maintain a copy of your data at a remote location. Your files will always be secure - they are encrypted on your computer using 448-bit Blowfish encryption and then transferred to our remote servers using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. After the initial transfer of the data, then only the changes will be uploaded. All files will be available for restore from the last 30 days. We will monitor the online backups on a daily basis and be available 24/7/356 for restoration. Just contact us and within the hour, we will begin restoring your files to an old or new location.

Pricing
Rates start at $39.95 per month per computer and no contract. This price includes 20 gigabytes of remote data storage, typically more than sufficient for financial databases, like Quickbooks, PeachTree, Microsoft Accounting plus room for company files and even Outlook mailboxes. If additional space is needed, the rate is only .50 cents per gigabyte and nothing more. If your data is scattered among different computers, in most cases, we can setup mapped drives and synchronize folders, so that all data is transfered from only one computer, keeping your monthly costs low. This initial setup is free.

Please contact us for a free consultation and let us bring that "stress level" down when it comes to protecting your valuable data.
