Backup And Recovery
Are Your Making This Deadly Mistake With Your Company’s Critical Data And Files?
Imagine walking into your office tomorrow only to discover that a virus, hacker, or system failure had erased every file on your computer!
How confident are you that your data could be restored?
If you are not backing up – or if you are, but have never tested your backups by performing a full data restore – you are at high risk for losing irreplaceable company files and information.
It is not uncommon for backup files to become corrupt and useless, and you certainly do not want to wait for a crisis situation to find out the backup system you have in place was not working.
Every business owner and manager knows that the consequences of data loss can be catastrophic. In fact the DTI reports that over 75% of businesses that have a major data loss go out of business within 18 months.
Yet why do so many businesses consistently fail to protect one of their most valuable assets?
The answer is simple. If you are involved in running a growing business you are undoubtedly overloaded with day-to-day issues, firefighting business tasks demanding immediate attention. Backup and disaster recovery invariably gets forced to the bottom of the queue.
The solution is to choose the right backup approach; an approach that is perfect for busy, growing companies.
At Ziptech we use a leading edge suite of backup technologies designed to offer you inexpensive, simple to use, automated backup. This automated approach limits the need for human interaction, eliminating the associated risks and costs.
Automated online backup is without doubt the most cost effective, secure and Data Protection Act compliant way of ensuring your data is protected.
Your data will be encrypted for security purposes and copied to an offsite data centre so that in the event of data loss you can recover it quickly and easily. As a further bonus the service is fully compliant with the requirements of the Data Protection Act. Our online backup service is not only safer and more reliable; our monthly subscription service will save you money as well. It is considerably more cost effective than traditional tape backup solutions. It works on desktops, laptops and servers.
Here’s what some of our clients had to say…
Worth At Least 10 Times The Cost
"The backup service we get from Ziptech is worth at least 10 times the cost. Data is very important to us. We need to be sure that we can recover from a disaster – we don’t want to lose everything we’ve got.
The fact that Ziptech can help us remotely, without having to come on site, makes things so much easier."
Taken away the effort and worry
"Some people enjoy looking after their own IT - but if you are like me you are not that well disciplined, have no desire to be an IT expert and would rather spend time on fee earning work - it is more cost-effective to let the experts take over. So backing up my computer system was always something I meant to do and occasionally did, but really worried about whether I was doing it right and whether I could recover data if something did go wrong.
Ziptech took responsibility for my system so it only seemed sensible that they look after my backups - without any effort on my part - and the price seemed very reasonable. They have taken away the effort and the worry - Priceless. I thoroughly recommend Ziptech."
It's all automated
"Automated online backup is the perfect solution. Ziptech helped us by working through our files on our server to identify which files and folders needed to be backed up. Since going for online backup we haven’t had the daily chore of swapping tapes and checking error logs.
The backup runs overnight, without fail and is monitored by the Ziptech team for me."
Here’s How It Works
- We will assist you remotely with the simple software installation, allowing you to select the files for backup and choose a daily schedule to suit you.
- Your data is automatically encrypted and compressed for transmission.
- Data is transmitted to a secure offsite data centre for storage on a daily basis.
- The data is then mirrored to a second data centre for additional resilience.
- You can retrieve individual files with a few clicks of a mouse or large quantities of data via CD.
You Need Never Worry About Backing Up Your Data Again
Your data will automatically be backed up at the time you’ve scheduled. You don’t need to do anything further. If your PC is turned off at the scheduled time, or not connected to the internet it will be automatically backed up the next time you turn your PC on. Backup takes place as a background task, which means that you can continue to work as normal during this process. As the system only backs up the changes you have made since the last backup it usually only takes a few minutes each day.
Why We Have Included Online Backup FREE With Our Support Service
The truth is that almost every business (and I do mean ALMOST EVERY BUSINESS) that we consult with, fails in its manual back up activity, despite all their best intentions. Backups are sometimes missed and rarely tested to ensure the correct data, or even any data is actually on the tape. That’s why we took the decision to include an allocation of online backup with every single network server that we support under our SiteManager service plan.
Of course you don’t need to be a SiteManager client to use our backup and recovery service. You can always subscribe separately to our online backup if you wish.
