Data Backup Services

Your data is important, not only for productivity, but also for your company's responsibility, for example in reporting to governments. In order to protect it against hardware failures (broken hard drive), software (corrupted operating system), or even the maliciousness of certain viruses, systematic and regular data backups are a must. Email communications, databases and documents from your personal computer or your company's IT infrastructure must therefore be protected. But where to begin?

Beyond External Drives

With the drop in the cost of hard drives, backing up data to external hard drives is an affordable solution. Unfortunately, this practice has many disadvantages. First, it takes time to take care of backups. If you forget to disconnect the disk after the backup, the risk of infection by a computer virus remains. In addition, in the event of theft or fires, the data is not necessarily protected. External, offsite backups are, therefore, a much better alternative.

Data Centers

A data center is a place that specializes in data hosting and includes several security measures. First, access to servers is restricted. Only a few employees can enter the area that contains the servers. With precisely controlled temperature, generators in case of power outages and redundant hardware, backups are well protected.

Offsite Backups

Nowadays, an external backup in a specialized data center is the most secure, efficient, and cost-effective way to protect data. This system has several advantages:

flexible schedule that does not affect your productivity;
automated operation that sends email confirmation after each backup;
security and confidentiality through data encryption;
simple to understand software that only updates files that have been modified after the last backup.
