Why backup data offsite? Because, data-loss disasters DO happen

UNC's Information Technology Service reports that "a hard drive crashes every 15 seconds." Do the math, that's 354,600 a day.

Data-loss disasters are unpredictable and uncontrollable. They can also wreck your livelihood: 70% of smaller firms that experience a major data-loss go out of business within a year.*

Conventional backup methodologies, such as tape, CD Rom, and external hard drives, are not good enough:

• High failure rates during data restoration
• Difficulty in detecting problems of backup before performing restoration
• Slow read / write speed
• High maintenance cost
• Expensive offsite storage of tape library
• Reduced flexibility for backup caused by fixed capacity per backup media
• Increased likelihood of occurrence of negligence-induced problems (e.g. lost or misplaced data)
• You (or someone you trust) has to monitor, test, update and secure them daily

Proven Backup's service alleviates all of the concerns associated with conventional backup systems. While there are many ways that a data-loss disaster may happen the key is being prepared.

Online backup also alleviates the concerns associated with traditional backup plans. Daily confirmation emails let you know your data is secure (and stored), and Proven Backup has unlimited storage space which allows your storage space to grow as your data volume grows. Internet backup is safe via multiple layers of encryption. All data is encrypted before leaving your desktop, laptop or server and is sent over an encrypted connector.

One of the best features of backing up data over the internet is that it allows you to backup your data from anywhere and restore your data from anywhere - your offices, tape drives or server manager don't need to be accessible.
