Backup Your Computer Files

Other Services to Help Your Business
In addition to your one-stop source for promotional products, PersonalPR offers several other services for today's small business, including peace of mind with our remote backup service for your computer, either home or office.

It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN your computer hard drive will crash. Do you have a backup of your computer data files?

With our remote backup system, your computer will automatically backup your data files on a daily basis, nothing to remember, no tape systems to install or program to run, our remote backup system will take care of it for you.

Select the files you want to keep safe. Then every night, your computer determines what files have changed, encrypts them and sends a copy across your Internet connection to our server.

Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer it is backing up, our remote backup system sends your backup over the Internet, regular telephone lines or other network connections to a backup server safely offsite. It does this (usually) at night while your computer(s) isn't being used. Backups can also be done on-demand, any time. It is completely automatic. In fact, you may even forget it's working.

Your encrypted data is received by the Remote Backup Server and stored on a RAID drive configuration (data is written to two separate drives). The drives holding your data are constantly monitored for temperature and power levels. Even the speed of cooling fans are tracked to to ensure the system is operating properly.

Why use our remote backup service?

Backups are done on schedule, reliably. Most businesses and individuals don't do this. For one reason or another, they don't keep a regular backup regimen. Usually it's because the person responsible for doing backups (if there is one) is too busy doing something else, or someone is using the computer when it's time for a backup, or they simply forget. Since remote backups are done with automated software usually at night, when nobody is using the computer, backups are always done on schedule.

Our system constantly reevaluates the computer system, adding files to the backup as needed. Several full copies of files are stored using a sophisticated version control system unavailable in most other backup software of any kind. This is much too important to overlook.The general definition of "proper" backups requires redundancy. One must keep multiple copies of the same files at different points in their development, called versions. As an example, you should have a different copy of each backed-up file for each backup session. Further, you should be able to easily restore any of your files up to any given point in time. Banks do it, big corporations do it, and so should small businesses. Our system has such an easy to use version control system.

Backups are also encrypted for complete security. Tape backups are not generally encrypted, so anyone can read them and gain access to client database, billing records, payroll, tax info, and everything else on computers. Our system encrypts its backups using your choice of eight of the strongest cryptographic methods in the world for complete security so nobody, not even the remote server, can read the files.

Finally and most importantly - Backups are immediately sent offsite and stored safely away from your computers and business. This is where almost every business makes its biggest mistake. Even if they do everything else perfectly, backups are of little use if their building burns, or they are unable to physically recover their tapes from the premises. Most small companies who do backups leave the tapes in the building with the computer, where they can be destroyed right along with the computer.

Of course, you can see that this would be a problem in a fire or flood or an earthquake. But it's also useful in emergencies where businesses are forced to evacuate their offices quickly. Even businesses that do backups and have good, undamaged tapes have to shut down. Many go out of business simply because they don't have access to their data.

Our remote backup service solves this problem by automatically storing this valuable data at more than one site. So your business can be back up and running with new computers and their latest data no matter what catastrophe happens.

"Today, tape continues to be one of the most commonly used storage mediums for backup, archiving and remote site disaster recovery. In addition, the emergence of new compliance regulations has significantly raised the stakes in data protection for both large and small-to-medium customers. A Yankee Group and Sunbelt Software survey of 362 IT executives in March 2004 found 42 percent of respondents had been unable to recover data from tape in the last year as a result of tape unreliability."
