(Emergency Access, Business Security & Maybe Save Your Job!)

How many times have you heard that backing up your computer data is critical to you and your business? Do you do it? Does your company? What about business continuation when you lose power due to a storm or fire?  What about a virus attack on your computer data?  How long will it take you to recover data from your computer and at what cost?

Others think using a USB drive or a second computer for data back up it good until a virus hits their network or a storm completely shuts down their business fro a few days to weeks!

Many companies do computer backup right way by having a remote back-up system in place.  Either they use a service or maintain a remote site themselves. If you have a business in Florida, then you know you are at risk to storms and other natural emergencies that leave your business down. What should you have in place to backup your company data?

Two things:

1). Remote Backup

2.) Remote emergency business site.

Let’s tackle the remote data backup site first. Just as it sounds, if you are in businesses that provide a service, then you clients will need to reach you.  If you are an insurance agency, law firm, repair facility, supply shop or if you provide any service which people need in an emergency – do you have a remote emergency site with backup power?  Do you have a web site where people can contact you and a way for you to contact them?  The site could be as simple as somebody’s home who has backup power where a couple of your staff members can work for a few days until your business is back up and running. Businesses lose major money and respect from client when they cannot reach you.  Enough said.

Remote Backup for Emergency and data recovery. If you do not have a remote back-up in place then think about this:  Companies spend over 427 Millions dollars every year recovering from data disasters either from corruptions or not being able to access their data.

Remote backup is a very cost effective, easy and hassle free way to make your business secure.

This is how it works:

1. Install software on your computer.

2. Configure when you want the back ups to happen and what you stored.

3. Sit back and let it do its thing automatically.

What are the costs?

Most companies pay between $4.95 to $12.95 per month depending upon the amount of data backup storage room needed.  Just a few dollars gives you the insurance.
