Offsite Secure Backup - The Truth about Data Backup

Secure data backup has always been an issue for business. Although we live in a technologically-advanced society, most of us have not changed since the times when people used to keep their valuable items wrapped up in a bundle, hidden in their house. Take the data backup organization of companies and data centric organizations, for example.

When the Bunsfield Oil Depot in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire exploded on the morning of 11 December 2005, data backup and restoration became a serious issue.

The huge explosions demolished all surrounding buildings. This posed an enormous problem for those companies which had their data stored on tapes in fire-proof safes. Fire-proof safes can be a real bargain, but only if the ruins of the falling buildings have been covered by the said safe! The question that you should pose in your mind is this; can you afford to be struck by a disaster? The tape method of backup is no longer totally safe. The solution we offer to you is called Offsite Backup: an automatic backup of your data at two remote data centres in different countries, which have redundant connections between themselves. As your data is secured in two different countries, the whole information can be accessed any time at any day that you choose.

Other major problems, such as the storage tanks being left to burn to the ground and the unconfined vapor cloud explosion, prevented other companies from gaining access to their building and therefore, their data. Buildings that were later condemned would have had further delays gaining access to their data. How many of these companies could have carried on effectively? Offsite Backup would have allowed such companies immediate access to data, enabling them to operate from a remote location. There would have been no loss or very limited down time on business.
