Online Offsite Data Backup

Your company has invested a lot of time, money and energy in creating the data that drives your business.  Sales data, customer and supplier data, product data and accounts data is invaluable to your business.  Studies have shown:

• 1MB of YOUR data is worth approximately £5,000 ¹
• Re-creating just 20MB of lost data could cost in excess of £8,000 and take nearly a month to rebuild ²
• Recovery of data on a crashed hard drive can cost a fortune and there is no guarantee of success ¹

The business data stored on your office computers is critical to the continued operational success of your business.  The loss of this data or temporary inaccessibility to it can undermine your competitive edge.

Companies without a comprehensive backup policy could be out of business within 2 years of major data loss. ³

Most companies use conventional backup methods and tools such as tape, in today’s business with the reliance on electronic data is this no longer good enough. 

Tapes are prone to failure –critical backup failures cannot always be detected before you need to restore the data. 

Tapes are slow to save data to and restore data from.

Tapes need to be replaced after a set number of backups and tape drives need regular maintenance.

Tapes have a fixed capacity and once the data capacity has been reached you either need to upgrade the hardware or invest in expensive tape autoloaders to increase the capacity.

Data is not encrypted and tapes are easily stolen or misplaced.

Start Backup Service, the online backup service from Start IT Services is the solution. We offer a secure, online backup service for all your data.  Your data is automatically backed up every night and you are emailed with the results.
