How Does It Work ?

Assuming you wish to use our services, we will determine how much space you are likely to need to enable the backups of your data. We'll then set your storage quota along with a secure user name and password for accessing that storage space.
We'll then come to your office and install a backup software which will enable connect to your space. Once that has been established, we will then associate all files and folders which need backing up to that connection and set a schedule for when the backups take place.
An initial backup is performed as a test to ensure all is working well and then all that's left to do is ensure that computer is left on in order for backups to run automatically.

If you are running a database, that needs to be stopped before a backup can proceed. If this is the case, we'll write a .BAT file whicwill run before and after the backups. This will automatically stop and then start the database which in turn, allows for the backups to run.

Instances of this might be for Exchange server ( if backing up email stores ) or CRMs like ACT ! or Goldmine.

Is It Secure ?

We've invested a lot of money on firewalls, NAS devices and redundant power supplies. We've also bought duplicate items so that we backup our backups.

The firewall will stop uninvited guests from getting at your data. The NAS devices have built in redundancy through multiple disks configured in RAID array. The redundant power supplies power everything in case of a power cut or failure and our own backups ensure your data is safe.
