Enterprise Backup
Effective offsite backup is the cornerstone of any data protection strategy. Most businesses will have some form of backup, but as data continues to grow and new technology becomes available, is your backup strategy still effective?
Indications your backup strategy is due for review before it’s too late:
- All your backups are onsite with the server
- You don’t know when you last had a full successful backup
- Your backups are running all night and into the working day
- You don’t have enough capacity to back up everything
- You can’t restore directly to a virtual image for disaster recovery
- You can’t backup or restore individual emails from Exchange server
- You don’t know when a test restore was last performed
- You needed to restore a lost file but couldn’t locate it on backups
Our Enterprise Backup is a managed service with dedicated onsite hardware designed to provide the following:
- Fast onsite backup with daily offsite replication to our Canadian data center
- Onsite disaster recovery imaging
- Multiple snapshots are taken per day with no service interruption (eg. Up to every 15 minutes)
- Application-aware backups (eg Exchange, SQL Server)
- Live access to backed up data during restore (no waiting)
- Hands-off, managed-for-you backups and test restores with a monthly report
- Confidence in full data recovery
If you require an offsite disaster recovery solution for compliance or contractual reasons, see our Business Continuity service.
