This time of year in the Midwest the question of how good are my backups can be heard numerous times by IT staff and business owners.\u00a0 The crack of thunder from the lightning and the howl of a close by tornado remind us all that it isn’t just a good idea to backup our data but to have another copy off-site.\u00a0 Businesses have previously used tape or removable hard drives for this.\u00a0 While this strategy was great in the past, there are some extra variables that come into play that make this a dated solution.\u00a0 An example is do the tapes actually get changed daily and if the person responsible is on vacation is the backup familiar enough with the process?<\/p>\n
We know the financial costs of losing data whether there is a power surge, fire, or in extreme cases a tornado.\u00a0 This can and sometimes does ruin otherwise healthy companies.\u00a0 This is where Enseva CloudBackup service can help.\u00a0 With state of the art software and robust infrastructure, Enseva provides you an enterprise class online backup service that ensures that you can quickly get up and running after any kind of data disaster.<\/p>\n
