Ensuring data backup and recovery for offices, remote sites, and mobile users is a constant challenge. At risk is critical data on laptops, desktops, and servers that may not be backed up regularly. A hardware failure, virus problem, accidental file deletion, or laptop theft can result in major problems for your business.

Or perhaps you are running into server backup problems. The steady increase in data that must be backed up can exceed your backup media capacity or your available backup window. Or you have a disk-to-disk backup system but need to securely store data off-site to ensure disaster recovery.

With it, you can back up laptops, desktops, and servers from anywhere to ABG’s secure, off-site data centers. There is no hardware or software to buy and manage. Setup is quick and easy. And best of all, you only pay for the storage you use.

Every organization runs some kind of backups. The question is, how confident are you in those backups? The reasons for data backups are well known.

  • Drive failures are the most common source of data loss, with annual failure rates ranging from 8% for servers to 19% for laptop computers. Other common causes of data loss are accidental deletions of files by users, virus damage or deletions, desktop and laptop damage, loss, or theft, software bugs, and disgruntled employees. All in all, 50% of businesses report having lost important business data due to these causes.
  • If you have an IT staff in your office your data backups are likely in good shape. But backing up servers and desktops at remote sites may be another issue, and almost certainly, laptops used by mobile users are not backed up routinely. Surveys show that 50% of desktops at remote sites are not backed up regularly and 85% of laptops are either never backed up or not backed up regularly. The people in closest contact with your customers have the data that is least likely to be backed up. That is something to worry about.
  • Even if you are sure that data backups are being run regularly, there are other issues. How do you know that the backups were successful? How do you know that open files are being backed up? Are backups taken off site to protect them from a disaster? Are the backups encrypted to prevent access to your data if the backup media is lost or stolen? If the backup media are stored off site, how long does it take to get the media back and the data restored? Is there someone who can identify what media to restore from and perform the restoration?
