CWS
offers internet back-ups. Backups are performed over the
internet to a secure location. Data is transferred via a secure
connection. The backup operation requires no media or tape changing
and no action on your part. They are automatic. File versioning
allows retrieval of yesterdays, last weeks, or last months documents.
Files are secured using your company’s active directory and access controls
that you currently have in place. Employees can restore their own files when
they want easily and quickly with-out the need of retrieving tapes.
What is the cost of replacing your data?
Have you recently tested your back-ups? If your business was
flooded, burned down, or robbed, how long would it take for you to retrieve
your data?
Could you retrieve your data?
CWS recommends multiple backup approaches.
-Employees can keep versions of their own documents
-Technologies such as shadow copies can be used to restore
older versions
-A commercial backup software can be used to backup data to
tapes.
All of these methods can be good and, should be used.
However, all have failings. Employees may accidentally write over a file
instead of saving a new version, and, shadow copies work until a hard drive
fails. Using tapes is a great idea but, tape drives fail, tapes become old
and fail, people go on vacation and forget to switch tapes, and many
companies do not take the backup tapes off-site for storage. If they do, and
a file needs to be restored, some-one must go and retrieve the proper backup
tape. This is where off-site backups come in. Automatice
Off-Site Internet backups can save your business from a data disaster.
