Why
do I need to backup?
In todays world, most businesses are dependant on a computer for some
function or another. You may have your entire business dependant on a
computer or you may just use a computer for e-mail. The question is,
if you switched off your computer today and could't restart it, how would
this affect your business?
Data loss can be very costly, particularly for organisations in the small
and medium business (SMB) market where the difference between survival
and closure can rest on the ability to recover from a disaster. At the
very least, critical data loss will have a financial impact on companies
of all sizes.
The financial impact on a company is a combination of loss of
business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of re-creating
data. At its worst, critical data loss can result in business
collapse. Studies by the National Archives and Records Administration
showed that 80% of companies without well-conceived data protection
and recovery strategies go out of business within two years of
a major disaster.
Why do most small and medium businesses not have a backup strategy
in place?
Research would suggest that a large number of small and medium
businesses neither have the time available to complete the regular
tasks or the in house skills to be able conceive, implement and
maintain a suitable data recovery program.
What are the main causes of computer problems?
There are many ways in which a computer may fail to perform as normal:
• Hardware failure - this is where the computer has a
problem affecting normal use.
• Computer Viruses can destroy valuable computer data
and files.
• User error - either intentional or not can be the cause
of data loss.
• Power spikes and surges can significantly damage your
computer.
• Environmental factors such as fires, floods etc. can
destroy your computer.
• Lost or stolen equipment.
What we offer
What we offer our customers is a complete backup solution. At a specified
time we come onsite to your business and 'Clone' your entire computers
hard disk drive. As the word 'Clone' emplies, we take an exact copy (or
duplicate) of all your files, programs settings etc. This way, we can
be sure that in the event of a disaster situation, we have a complete
copy of everything that was on your computer. Once 'Cloned' the backup
device containing the complete copy of your computer files is taken off
site and stored in a secure location.
Why is a 'Clone' better than a backup?
The original way to save your data was to backup selected files to a
tape device or CD Rom. The problem with this method is that if your computer
failed, you needed to re-install your complete operation system, programs,
settings etc. before you could then copy your backup files back onto your
computer. If you have a problem and you have cloned your computer, you
simply copy the data from the cloned device back to your computer and
that's it. This cuts your downtime in the event of a disaster down to
a matter of a few hours instead of days / weeks! The other advantage cloning
has is that it takes a copy of every single file on your PC not a group
of selected files removing the posibility of not backing up critical files.
