On-line Backup Services
Simple, yet Often-Overlooked Data Security
One of the simplest, yet most frequently overlooked ways to secure your business is to ensure your data is backed-up regularly.
Your business relies on having immediate access to both current and historical data. You rely on electronically stored financial records, correspondence, work in progress information, contact history and emails. We take it for granted that it's always going to be there when we need it and that assumption is false.
There's rarely a week goes by without a news story of a fire, storm or flood damage, and break ins; or, in a recent case in Brisbane, where villains tried to dislodge an ATM in the front wall of a Bank with explosives, they not only destroyed the Bank, they effectively destroyed the businesses on either side!
While none of us think for a moment that this could happen to us, and while we have the comfort of Insurance, let me get you to STOP for a moment and ask yourself this question:
"How would I run my business tomorrow if everything was lost tonight?"
If the answer is scary, then it's likely you haven't implemented an adequate data back-up process, or, that if you do have a back-up process, the data is backed up onsite.
The simple truth is this: Your MUST back up your data to an offsite facility.
It's easy, it's inexpensive and what's more, it's essential to guaranteeing business continuity.
All you have to do is contact us, and we'll show you how easy it is to back up your data to our secure offsite server. What happens is that your system tells our backup service what files have changed since the last backup, and saves a copy of them to your existing offsite data file.
The end result is that in the event of any unforeseen circumstance, you're at most only one working day behind. That's manageable; a year, a month, or even a week isn't.
If this is making you feel at all nervous or ill at ease, it's time you called us.
