Online Backup Solutions?

[Bubbles]

I have a query regarding Online Backup Solutions.

Is it worth the money to get your business data backed up? What does it involve? And can you point me in the direction of some good online backup companies that provide solutions for small to medium sized companies?

Reviews and opinions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!:good:

Acronis
Data backup software and disaster recovery solutions help you back up hard disk drive files, (Highy rated with users) "Acronis True Image Home 2009 complete PC protection: back up your entire PC, including the OS plus your data, applications, pictures, video, financial documents, settings and everything!" NOTE: This is not simple files back up - it backs up Windows too - THIS is the top back up scenario and is mandatory without an Emergency CD Repair to restore Windows. In a botnet hit there is definately going to be damage to Windows obviously which is the KEY important part of PREVENTION. (The "OS" is Operating System - Windows, Mac, Linux etc)

I suppose there are a lot of providers which provide this kind of service as core solution. Do the search and you will find plenty of them

Backups done several times a day by serverpoint company, for example.
This service is provided in a secure way.
Think any decent company must provide backing up services.

I am not try to argue of an online backup service because I don't use any of them. I have already determine that none are feasible for my needs. Here's why you might choose not to use one, either:

Cost - A year's worth of service will easily cost as much as a hard drive, especially when you consider the amount of data you can reasonably back up online

Storage Limits - Many services advertise "unlimited" storage, but if try to do, there's a very practical limit. That its only allow 2-3GB per day, how many days are you willing to wait for your backup to Finished.

Time - It takes a long time to backup your data. It takes a long time to restore your data.

I think with backup you can't have too many.

Just recently we had our main hosting server fail. We had a daily backup system in place (using my own batch file, SQL stored procedures, command line zip, etc). We therefore had complete backups good to within a few hours both on our local site, and on the failed server. Fortunately our ISP was able to setup a new server and reattach the d drive from the failed server so we could rescue the backups from that (saved sending them all up our ADSL line to the rebuilt server).

You can't afford not to have backups! and the more you have, the better. You'll never regret having too many, but you will regret not having enough.

The growing prevalence and rising speed of broadband, coupled with the aforementioned drop in storage costs, has allowed companies that specialize in online backup solutions to extend these services to a great range of clientele. Unlike physical backup solutions, online systems have the advantage of requiring no additional hardware and usually have a small software footprint as well, in terms of program size or memory requirements.

Hi.......,

Sorry I don't have any idea about it and even I am also searching for that. If you have any idea about it means let me know.

Of all the tasks that occupy a computer's processing time, none has greater potential to leap from mundane service to critical function than the backup process. In the past, backup procedures (whether implemented for personal or corporate use) were mostly physical and involved regular copy sessions to a separate floppy disk, tape, or CD-R/DVD-R. In recent years, the falling price of hard drive storage has made external hard drive-based backups a practical solution for certain personal or small business uses.

Although online backup services aren't a new concept , it's only in the relatively recent past that the cost of such services and the number of people potentially equipped to take advantage of them have reached critical mass.Online Backup Solutions offers internet backup products that are designed to securely protect your PC and server.

Is it worth the money to get your business data backed up?
Yes, if your business lost it critical data would your business survive?

What does it involve?
It involves installing a piece of software onto your PC/Laptop/Server, selecting what you want backed up and how often - simple

I think you no need to backup your data online because in the market there are many solutions of your backup problem like you can purchase external HD, flash drive etc to store your data. It is really very cheap and useful for us.


Good luck.

Data backup is so important and necessary thing.Data backup software and disaster recovery solutions help you back up hard disk drive files. There are so many data in our system. Like audio, video, movies, images, financial documents etc..Sometime if your server will be fail at that time data backup is so useful for us. Last month we had our main server fail but we had a regularly backup in place. So within a few hours we had complete backups.

I use a combination of cash and Mozy backup.

Regarding the first, gives you 2GB of free accommodation, but you can pay more if necessary. Mozy is directed towards conservation, while Dropbox is to synchronize files across multiple sites.

My website deals primarily with consumer online backup services [on the sig] but I'm assuming you're interested in business backup purposes? Securidata is very good in regards to businesses uses and I would rate them highly for your business needs.

Consumer end, well you're really spoilt for choice.

My backup procudre is image snapshot of my documents and windows frequently, and online backup with SugarSync on the fly.
