Backup
If you already do backups, you may not need a remote backup service. However, before you decide that you don’t need one, you should make sure that your backup method is not prone to ANY of the following:
- Physical Theft. 51% of UK Small Businesses have been the victim of a crime in the last year – figure from the Federation of Small Businesses, 2006.
- Physical Damage. Flood, Fire, Terrorist Activity, Disk Corruption.
- User Error. A common cause of failed backups and lost data. Users can forget to backup, or backup the wrong files.
- Overwriting. If you backup using the same tape, drive or disk each time, what happens when you realise you need to revert to a copy from, e.g. a month ago?
- Encryption failure. Many alternative backup media do not encrypt your data, so that if it falls into the wrong hands, it can be accessed which could lead to a legal case relating to the Data Protection Act (1998).
MozyPro Remote Backup Service overcomes these potential problems and offsite data backup is starting to be seen as a requirement not a bonus when insuring your business.
Security
- 128-bit SSL encryption — Safely secures your data during transport.
