DO YOU NEED A BACKUP SOLUTION?

The answer is ‘How would you manage if your PC failed?

Computer Systems are a fundamental part of business and pleasure today. We have become increasingly reliant upon these systems and the data they store. In order to protect your information you need to implement a backup solution.

Home users may not require a scheduled solution involving dedicated hardware and software, but simply copying data to a Recordable CD may be all that is required.

However for businesses a scheduled automated solution is required, depending upon the size of your organisation this can range from using a 750MB Zip Disk to a 40GB DDS4 Tape.


There are now concrete rules but there are a number of considerations to be made:

  • What should you backup, and how often?
  • When should you run the backups?
  • Who should be responsible?
  • How much media will you require?
  • What software should you use?
  • What hardware solution should you employ?

Whatever your requirements the right solution is essential. Do not compromise to lower costs; at the end of the day the file you don’t backup is the file you will need if things go wrong.

As part of our service we will discuss your needs and develop a relevant backup strategy with you.
