Did you know that you have a 1 in 4 chance of losing all of your pictures, music, spreadsheets, reports, programs, and everything electronically valuable due to a natural disaster or an evil virus programmer? In addition, industry analysts report that up to 50% of businesses who undergo a widespread loss of data cannot survive and go out of business. A brief review of the following backup methods show that they do not all offer the same amount of safety.
Maybe you already backup your data to a CD or DVD, but these disks are not always secure. You might believe that the disk copied the files perfectly, but many times when you need the data, the files are corrupted or missing due to damaged disks or other technical failures. And if you don’t remember to back up on a regular basis, then of course the files won’t be there when you need them. Not only that, CD and DVD backups are not encrypted so they are vulnerable in case of theft.
Another way to store your computer’s data is to copy everything to an internal or external hard drive, or a tape backup system. You should have success with these backup devices if they have not been stolen, corrupted, or damaged in the same disaster that caused your original files to be stolen, corrupted, or damaged. And some reports say that up to half of all attempts to recover data on tape backups do fail.
The most efficient and effective way securely backup your files on a regular basis is to perform a remote offsite backup. Offsite data storage and recovery is a rather effortless procedure:
Local Software Installation
First you’ll install a small application that interfaces with the backup server of the online data backup provider. Setting up the program usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Initial Backup of Entire System
Second, backing up files of this sort requires a fast connection, such as with a cable modem, DSL line or a T1 line. Third, schedule a complete system backup during a convenient time. All respectable off site data backup providers secure your files in high security “vaults” that make the CIA envious, so don’t worry about your files.
Web Management System
Finally, you will likely have complete control to schedule backups, look at and retrieve your files any time of the day through a web interface. You will probably also receive a unique encryption code known only to you for safe access to your files.
I’ll stop here with a word of wisdom: don’t worry about data loss; worry about how soon you will contract with an offsite data recovery provider. If you would like to learn more strategies for backing up your data and protecting your business investment, visit Data Backup Solutions.

Almost 1 in 4 computers have lost their data to hackers, viruses, and acts of nature. In addition, if you own a business, your chances are 1 in 2 that your business will fail if you lose your all or most of your data. A brief review of the following backup methods show that they do not all offer the same amount of safety.
Maybe you already backup your data to a CD or DVD, but these disks are not always secure. Although the files might copy just fine onto the disks, over time these disks can become damaged making the files impossible or very difficult to recover. And if you are like me and don’t have the self-discipline to manually back up your data onto disk, then weeks and months of work will be at risk. In addition to that, your backed up files on CD or DVD are at risk in case of theft because the files are not encrypted.
Another way to store your computer’s data is to copy everything to an internal or external hard drive, or a tape backup system. You should have success with these backup devices if they have not been stolen, corrupted, or damaged in the same disaster that caused your original files to be stolen, corrupted, or damaged. In addition, research shows that tape backup fails to recover data as much as 50% of the time.
The easiest and most worry-free way to secure your files is with the services of an off site data storage company. Offsite data protection and file recovery is a fairly easy process:
Local Software Installation
First, you will need to install a small program to interface with the offsite data storage server. It takes about 20-30 minutes to set up the program.
Initial Backup of Entire System
Second, you will need to have a fast internet connection, such as a T1 line, DSL or cable modem. Third, perform a full system backup during an opportune time. To secure data backup, reliable offsite data backup providers store your files in high security “vaults” with 24/7 observation.
Web Management System
Finally, you will likely have complete control to schedule backups, look at and retrieve your files any time of the day through a web interface. You might also receive an encryption code known only to you to keep your files safe.
I’ll leave you with some wise words made up by me: don’t worry about losing your data; worry about not backup up your data. To learn more about data recovery options to secure your business, visit Data Backup Solutions.

Almost 1 in 4 computers have lost their data to hackers, viruses, and acts of nature. In addition, if you own a business, your chances are 1 in 2 that your business will fail if you lose your all or most of your data. There are many ways to backup your data, but they are not all equally safe.
CDs and DVDs are probably the most common way to back up files, but they don’t offer the kind of security that you might think they offer. Often data copies just fine to a CD or DVD, but when it’s time to recover the data, for various technical or mechanical reasons, it won’t recover when you need it the most. And if you forget or fail to put the disk in the computer and perform the manual backup, then hundreds of hours of work and files will be vulnerable to loss. Not only that, but these disks are not usually encrypted so all of your data is at risk in case of theft.
Another way to store your computer’s data is to copy everything to an internal or external hard drive, or a tape backup system. Recovery of data is easy with these solutions if the hard drive or tape storage is not damaged or corrupted by the same lightning, flood or fire in which the original drive was damaged. And theft is an option as well. And some reports say that up to half of all attempts to recover data on tape backups do fail.
The best way to keep your backups current and safe is to utilize offsite data backup services that specialize in keeping your files automatically backed up and secure until you need them. Off site data backup is fairly effortless and involves the following:
Local Software Installation
First, you will need to install a small program to interface with the offsite data storage server. The program can take up to 30 minutes to install and set up.

Web Management System
Finally, many online providers offer a web control interface where you can schedule backups and retrieve files anytime. You might also receive an encryption code known only to you to keep your files safe.
