A good backup can mean the difference between life and death for your business. Backups and disaster recovery plans are crucial in helping your business bounce back from all kinds of unplanned emergencies. Consider some of these statistics:

• 60% of the companies that suffer a disaster and lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
• Simple drive recovery can cost upwards of $7,500 and success is not guaranteed.
• A recent survey calculated that a single incident of data loss costs businesses an average of $10,000.
• Recent estimates suggest that re-entering just 20 megabytes of sales and marketing data would take 19 days and $17,000. Costs go up exponentially when trying to recover more complex data sets.
• According to industry research, managers in the PC LAN market spend an average of 954 hours per site, per year, handling backup media and resolving errors.

Online Backup: Online Backup Service is a completely automated and professionally managed service that backs up your critical information, archives it our data center and makes it immediately available for recovery. Our Online Server Backups are the most advanced and secure data protection solutions for companies large and small. It’s a "tape-less" backup and recovery solution, which means no hardware or software purchases, and a fully automated process requiring minimal employee time or resources.

Server Imaging: By means of a proprietary server imaging process, we can create an exact image of your live systems for complete backups that provide the most comprehensive data protection. This image file includes all of the system's data including the operating system, programs, software updates, patches, mission critical data files, configurations, settings, e-mails and many others. After a fatal system failure, customers can restore the entire server contents to a known, working state or simply replace the lost or corrupted files and folders.

Disk-Based Backup: When your business depends on your data, relying on tapes alone can be dangerous. Tapes require constant oversight and upkeep, and their fragility and susceptibility to the elements compromises the protection of your essential information. In many cases, data isn’t restored perfectly or is permanently lost. With disk-based backup, you eliminate all the tape rotation, cleaning and retensioning of cartridges, buying new tapes every 6 - 9 months, and the daunting task of constant labeling and organizing. Disk-based backup truly is hassle-free protection and Disaster Recovery Solution, plus its format ensures much faster performance.
