As a business leader, you know that the value of your business depends on its data. Without it, your daily operations will be disrupted and your business value destroyed.

That’s why you’re here – to find out why online data backup is the most secure, functional and affordable method of data backup for businesses today and how we can help you.

The following information demonstrates why we believe online data backup is the safest way to protect your business data.

Your current data backup procedure isn’t safe

Many businesses putting themselves at risk by using tape backup; if you are using a tape system, ask yourself:

• Who in the company is responsible for making sure the backup happens?
• Are they qualified to do it; is it in their job description?
• Are tapes stored securely or are they on-site?
• Are you confident the restore will work when you need it?

All of the above areas pose a very real threat to your data’s security. Tape backups are time consuming and unreliable. Eliminate the risk error, human or otherwise with online data backup.

Your current backup procedure could bankrupt you

The impact of data loss is well documented:

• "90% of businesses that lose their core data for more than 10 days go bankrupt within a year."
• "On average, by the 6th day of a major data loss, companies experience a 25% loss in daily revenue; by day 25 it's 40%."
• "The average cost to a UK SME of a virus attack on just one PC is £843 with an average downtime of 7.2 hours."

Compare the massive costs associated with data loss to the nominal investment required to backup your data and online data backup soon emerges as the sensible business option.

Your current backup procedure might be illegal

When you lose business data, not only do you risk losing customer confidence with it, you could also find yourself having to answer to the law. Data protection laws now insist that businesses take care:

“You must safeguard your own or anyone else’s data, by appropriate precautions against loss, corruption and unauthorized disclosure” – Data Protection Act, 1998
