In the run up to Christmas, people are starting to take care of the admin tasks that need doing.
One of them is backup.
With this in mind we have just sent a small email out to some local businesses about our Cloud Backup solution. With a hope that we catch people whilst they are preparing for the festivities and make them realise that perhaps they can utilise “The Cloud” to protect their business data with minimal costs… less than tape!
I have been backing up my data to “The Cloud” for proabably 2 years solid now; and it is nice to be able to help others utilise the technology. I was so sick of having to buy external hard drives, then bigger drives, replacing lost power supplies, etc etc.
Now I just backup via the internet. I can do it from home, the office, Starbucks, where ever I can get the internet. Because the software sends only changes, the bandwidth usage is okay too. because the data is encrypted BEFORE it is sent, I am comfortable with it sitting in an anonymous data centre. As per my previous post in relation to the DPA, I genuinely think the data is probably more secure in “The Cloud” than on my laptop!
I really hope that this email that has been sent, catches the recipients eye. And that they considder backing up to “The Cloud”. It just makes so much sense!
