Remote Backups prevent loss of valuable business records

HaveTex will:

1.  
   1. Help you pick the most important information to back up
   2. Ensure backups are frequent enough that a computer crash, or natural/man-made disaster will minimize data losses since your most recent backup
   3. Help you select a solution that balances risk and cost
   4. Help you recover your data from backups, and rebuild your computer systems if a failure occurs
   5. Give you peace of mind that the your records are safe
   6. Eliminate the human element in making sure reliable backups take place, the one element most likely to fail

HaveTex recommends My Secure Cloud backups, for people who cannot afford to lose any information between backups, and Mozy Pro for people who are looking for a lower cost alternative with a scheduled backup approach.

Did you know that the biggest single cause of business failure after a disaster is loss of business records? 80% fail within a year.

Most backups are tapes, flash drives or external disks. All can wear out and often aren't replaced. Plus you tend to keep them at the office, so if ithere's a fire or flood the backups are destroyed along with the computers.

The only effective protection is a remote data backup that automatically moves the data off-site to eliminate the human element. 

Lots of vendors offer remote backups, but look for the following:

1. Automated backups, that run as soon as the computer is turned on, if someone left it off overnight when the backup was supposed to run
2. Backups that are written to more than one server, or even to more than one physical remote site
3. For greatest protection, backups that don't wait for an overnight run, but take place immediately a file in a designated folder changes
4. Backups where the data is encrypted as it travels across the Internet
