70% of companies who suffer data loss will cease to trade within 18 months Please do not become a statistic, backup your data

All companies know that they should backup and protect their data and it is something they will eventually get around to sorting.  The reason for this is the task of data backup is usually expensive and time consuming and after all we all have more important things to do.  Why should I spend 1 or 2 hours of my day backing up data when I could be out there making a difference?  It is a good point but is easily out weighed when the data has been lost, there is no business left and no more important daily tasks to carry out.  Now is the time to invest in an online backup solution.

For the smarter companies out there that do backup their data, usually this would be to tape.  It is becoming evident that tape backup solutions are not the most reliable of solutions and the lack of reliability only comes to light when you actually need to restore your data.

With the emergence and availability of high speed internet access nearly businesses and organisations now have good internet access, and it is this very service which makes online backup a realistic and the most sensible data protection option.
