Here's how it works...

Datastor Computer Services operates secure Backup Servers at our PerthIX Data Centre. Your system runs a program called a Backup Client on your File Server.

Your File Server remains on at night. While your business is closed the software checks to see which files have been used that day, and which need to be backed up.

The software makes an encrypted and compressed set of backup files. It then connects automatically with the Backup Server by one of the available methods and sends the backup. Our Server stores the data and the client computer disconnects.

Forget about trying to keep track of external drives, tapes and DVDs. With Datastor, you know your data is secure, and you don't have to remember to backup! Datastor does it for you.

Cost...

Technical Stuff...

Remote Backups work basically like regular backups, with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer it is backing up, a Remote Backup sends it over your network link, to a secure and safe off-site location. It does this usually at night while the business is closed and nobody is using the computers. It is completely automatic. In fact, you may even forget it is working every night. If you prefer, the system can be set to operate on demand, at your command, at any time.

The system automatically sends copies of your critical computer files to a secure, off-site location, giving you the confidence and security large computer users have enjoyed for decades.

Most small businesses put their lives on the line every night and don't realize it. With businesses depending more and more on the data stored in their computers, proper backups are becoming much more critical. Remote Backups accomplish several essential steps that are often overlooked or done improperly by other backup software - especially in the regular non-automated backup systems.

• Backups are done on schedule, every night. Most businesses don't do this. For one reason or another, they don't keep a regular backup regimen. Usually it's because the person responsible for doing backups (if there is one) is too busy doing something else, or someone is using the computer when it's time for a backup, or they simply forget. Since Datastor's Remote Backups are done with automated software at night, when nobody is using the computer, backups are always done on schedule.
  
• Redundant copies of files are stored using a sophisticated version control system. This is much too important to overlook. The general definition of "proper" backups requires redundancy. That is, one must keep multiple copies of the same files at different points in their development, called versions. As an example, you should have a different copy of each backed-up file for each day of the week, one for each week in the month, and so on. Further, you should be able to easily restore any of your files up to any given point in time. Banks do it, big corporations do it, and so should small businesses. Only our Remote system has such an easy to use version control system.
  
• Backups are encrypted for complete security. Would you want someone to be able to slip one of your backup tapes into a pocket and take it to your competitor? It happens all the time. Tape backups are generally not encrypted, so anyone can read them and gain access to your client database, billing records, payroll, tax information, and everything else on your computer. Our Remote Backup encrypts its backups for complete security. Nobody, not even our staff, can access client data without permission.

Security Security is based on a combination of live security guards, security cardkey access, visual surveillance from the control room, video monitoring, remote reporting and biometrics.

Finally and most importantly - Backups are sent off-site immediately and stored safely away from the computer and the business. This is where almost every business makes its biggest mistake. Even if you do everything else perfectly, your backups are of little use if your building burns or you are unable to physically recover your tapes from the premises. Most small companies that do backups leave the tapes in the building with the computer, where they can be destroyed right along with the computer. Of course, you can see that this would be a problem in a fire or an earthquake. But there are other problems.

The Queensland floods, Japanese tsunami and US Trade Centre bombing are good examples. Even businesses that were doing backups and had good, undamaged tapes in the building had to shut down. Many went out of business simply because they couldn't get their data. They simply couldn't continue their business. Datastor Computer Services' Remote Backup solves this problem by storing this valuable data off site. Your business can be back up and running with new computers and your latest data in a matter of hours, even if your office is not accesible.
