Your Questions About Business Online Backup
Mandy asks…
Best Online Data Backup Company?
I’ve got alot of sensitive information to store, and it has to be online storage. Who’s the best?
Jere answers:
Most people will be happy with Mozy or Carbonite – however, make sure you check the small print. For instance, Mozy will delete the backup copy of a file if it has been deleted on your PC for over 90 days. Remember you’re not permitted to back-up business data with MozyHome – you’ll need to go for the more expensive MozyPro package.
If you have more than one computer to back up, or if you want to backup external hard drives or business data then you might want to try Angel Backup as an alternative to Mozy or Carbonite.

Jere answers:
Most people don’t back up enough or often enough.
Study the problem of backup and the best way to solve it. Divide the solution into two parts: for home users and for small businesses. Small businesses have the most to lose and will pay the most.
Use Goggle Ads to advertise online. For small businesses, have some businesses cards printed up. The cards should be very conservative like a lawyer’s card. Drive around and drop these off to the local businesses – try to speak to the owners or make an appointment.
If you back up their computers for them on a regular basis, and they get a virus or a problem, they may accuse you. Design a method to prove that, at the time of your backup, the system was safe and virus free. This may involve storing an image of the hard drive online at carbonite.com or one of these sites.
As for the web site, find a web site you like, and then download the script for the site and simply change the wording to your business.
Chris asks…
Reliable offsite backup service?
Mozy in general I’ve found doesn’t have the best tech support or turn around, and seems to be leaned towards people that backup home laptops with external hard drives of pictures/videos/documents. But what about a business?
My boss wants to know if there is any offsite backup service that is bulletproof. He wants to know that if our office burns down, we can have our files that day or the next. He wants to know what the best solution for this is.
I personally use Acronis at home for image backups, but that would require the same hard drive/computer hardware layout for a proper restoration.
Any ideas?
Jere answers:
IBackup is a popular business-class online backup service, although Mozy and Backblaze also offer “Pro” accounts with a single administrator login to manage all the machines. IBackup also has super-fast transfer speeds. If you have a lot of data to upload initially, they also offer “Rapid Serve” which allows you to transfer your data to a USB drive, then mail that to them for the initial “upload.” Then, all incremental (daily) uploads are done via the Internet
