Why use Remote Backup and Restore?
Convenience:
Automatic - set and forget. As long as your computer is on and has access to the Internet, the backup will happen according to your preset schedule. No need to hang around after everyone else has knocked off or shut down the network before closing time.You will receive an email notifying you of the satisfactory completion of the backup each night, if requested. If you need help you can talk to a real person who will even come round to your premises to help if you are having trouble. How many remote backup services will do that?
Reliability:
Once you have set the backup schedule the computer looks after it all. No need to remember which type of backup you should be doing tonight, or even if tonight is a backup night.Remote Backup and Restore's remote backup service will check that the backup has actually made it to our server as it was sent. Not many tape or ZIP drive systems actually check the data to make sure it has actually been stored correctly.
If, for some unforeseen circumstance, the backup cannot be fully processed one night (eg. your ISP is down) then remote backup will pick up where it left off next time and finish the last backup before starting the next.
Versatility:
You can set remote backup to backup just one set of files or to scan your system for any data files that may have been created/changed and back them all up, or anything in between.Security:
Because you are the only one who holds the encryption key, you are the only one who can access the data in the files. Not even your provider knows what is in them.Storing backups off site is one of the most important factors of good security for your data. Remote backup automatically stores your data off site, but it is easily accessible to you from your computer if you should need to restore it.
Remote backup automatically stores your backup from the previous night, as well as up to a month of backups. So, if you discover a problem that has been dormant in your system for a few days, you can still go back to a clean version to restore.
Remote Backup and Restore's remote backup service is fully compliant with all relevant aspects of the United States HIPAA legislation (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). It is the best way to comply with HIPAA's data backup requirement. Remote backup also complies with Gramm-Leech-Bliley and Sarbanes-Oxley legislation.
