Irish backup provider keepITsafe announced their concerns over the number of companies that are not prepared for a data disaster. “A large percent of attempted recoveries do not restore all information when using manual tape backup. This is a daily occurrence for our technical team – firefighting for companies who have lost data through tape backup errors”, stated Eoin Blacklock, managing director, keepITsafe. A high proportion of small firms fail adequately to secure their electronic data with devastating results.
Business owners need to sit back and ask themselves – Is their company data safe? Businesses today that do not have a secure and reliable backup strategy in place face the possibility of complete data loss. Along with complying with regulatory requirements businesses are also faced with an unrelenting growth in data and the unreliability of traditional tape-based backup.
According to keepITsafe, online backup, offered as a managed service, answers these challenges to securely and efficiently protect servers and desktops against data loss. The key differentiator is the ability of companies like keepITsafe to move data securely off-site away from potential disasters. “Online backup is the only choice for businesses that are serious about protecting their important company data”, stated Blacklock.
He continued to mention that companies have used tape based backup as their main source of data protection for many years now. Exposure to human error and slow restore time has left many companies in a data loss situation.
