DataSafe.

How DataSafe Works
DataSafe not only reduces the cost of restoration, should the worst happen, but
because DataSafe runs automated, unattended backups and sends them immediately offsite,
the cost of performing "proper" backups is drastically reduced.
At a predetermined time, DataSafe wakes up and determines which files need backing
up, and what kind of backup (out of three possibilities) is scheduled for that night.
It then compresses those files into archives, that can in many cases be only 10%
to 20% of the original file sizes. These archives are then encrypted using an encryption
key known only to you.
After your files are compressed and encrypted, DataSafe activates the modem or other
communications device, and sends your files offsite to our data storage facility.
DataSafe then verifies your files (ensuring that your data will restore correctly)
and goes back to sleep.
Your valuable data files are now safe offsite. If your building burns, or your computer
is stolen, your business can be saved by replacing your equipment and restoring
your files from our remote backup server.

Off Site Backups
This is where almost every business makes its biggest mistake. Even if you do everything
else perfectly, your backups are of little use if your building burns, or you are
unable to physically recover your tapes from the premises. Most small companies
who do backups leave their backup tapes in the building, where they can be destroyed
right along with the computer.
Of course, you can see that this would be a problem in a fire or an earthquake.
But there are other problems. The World Trade Center bombing in New York City is
a good example. Even businesses that were doing backups correctly, but had stored
them on site, had to shut down. Many went out of business simply because they couldn’t
get their data.
DataSafe solves this problem by automatically storing this valuable data offsite.
So a business can be back up and running with new computers and their latest data
no matter what catastrophe happens. |
