Your Questions About Business Online Backup

Jere answers:

Cloud computing is far from just beginning, it’s just now getting marketed to regular consumers. It’s been around for a very long time.

I don’t think the market is “too congested” really, I think there’s just nothing reliable enough through a 3rd party that it’s worth doing. Amazon was supposedly the best choice, then they had a huge problem and enormous sites were down for days…

Its 100th Customer

Proven restorability of data, ease of use and cost effectiveness drive user satisfaction and growing adoption of online backup service

ROSEVILLE, CA,(PRWEB) November 5, 2003 ? U.S. Data Trust Corporation, a rapidly growing provider of data protection and recovery services for business PC servers, today announced a deal with Adams Outdoor Advertising (www.adamsoutdoor.com.) making them their 100th customer for online backup services. Adams Outdoor Advertising, the sixth largest outdoor advertising company in the United States, chose U.S. Data Trust to protect its critical business data across 12 different locations.

Adams Outdoor Advertising, who signed up in the July quarter, has already restored critical data using U.S. Data Trust?s service on a number of occasions, including one disaster that destroyed critical accounting information. “I was able to quickly recover all of the lost information in less than five minutes”, said a grateful Ron Lewis, Controller of Adams Outdoor Advertising.”When I tell people about the benefits of this service, they don’t believe me, because it sounds too good to be true. The service guarantees the integrity and restorability of our data. I would recommend it to anyone – it’s the best that I’ve ever seen.”

Adams Outdoor Advertising chose the online backup system after they found that data restoration did not always work when they used a traditional tape-based backup system. Also, nightly backups and the potential for 24 hours? Of data loss was unacceptable given the dynamic nature of their business.

?U.S. Data Trust has seen strong demand for our online backup service from mid-sized companies such as Adams Outdoor Advertising,? Said Paul Hrabal, President of U.S. Data Trust. ?These companies appreciate that, unlike traditional tape backup solutions, our service is automated, secure and guaranteed to recover their business critical data. Our service allows a company to return to the state of their business just prior to a data loss event rather than having to revert to a previous night?s tape backup.?

Other companies who adopted the DataTrust Protect Online Backup Service have had no second thoughts. U.S. Data Trust reports that its customer retention rate is 100% and one-third of quarterly growth is from existing customers adding more data and servers.

The DataTrust Protect service is designed for customers with servers that reside outside of major data centers – such as remote or branch offices, or mid-sized businesses- and who have primarily relied on in-house tape backups to keep their data safe.

DataTrust Protect Online Backup Service is sold as a managed service with plans starting as low as $199 per month. Installation is usually completed in less than 20 minutes using a simply “point and click” web interface. Once configured, DataTrust Protect runs automatically in the background with the U.S. Data Trust Service Operations Center monitoring backup and restore operations 24 hours a day.

Security is always a concern when dealing with the Internet and especially when transferring personal files and sensitive information. Not only is it important to our customers, but it is also a prime concern of BackUp Solutions. Without security in every aspect of our service, our own business and reputation would be in jeopardy. That is why we have taken substantial precautions to ensure the security of your data not only while in transit to the data center, but also while stored at the data center. The following are overviews of the ways in which you are protected.

Online Backup Security: Account Protection

* 128 bit AES encryption of your files by your computer before leaving your computer and also stored at the data centers encrypted – this encryption has never been broken
* Password protection of your account
* Unique individual account numbers
* Access to your account is limited to key support individuals and all changes are logged

Online Backup Security:Network Protection

* Checkpoint Firewall – 1 on “hardened” Nokia appliances with all activity limited to a single TCP port
* All connections to port are authenticated by valid account and password
* Failed access attempts are logged and reviewed
* Best operating system and database security practices are followed
* Only software necessary to provide the service is running

Physical Security

* Co-location sites have barriers with 24×7 security personnel
* Co-location equipment is locked in cage with sensors and alarm system
* All visitors require pre-authorization and photographic identification
* Fingerprint reader controls access to Connected’s in-house data facility
* All access to computer equipment is logged

Conclusion

Most traditional backup systems do not store your data with any level of protection. A zip drive, CD, or tape can easily be read by someone if it were to come into their possession. Consequently, we believe that the BackUp Solution is actually a safer and more secure method of protecting your data.

I’m not sure about a backup service but If you are a small company, I strongly suggest getting a call answering service, they make sure all your calls are answered proffesionally and send you e-mails with the details of the customer, as an accountant my self I find this extremely beneficial.

I have used many but i recommend www.callangels.com (Ask to speak to Dan or Dean I can’t remember the guys name :s)
