Online backup Services
In most IT infrastructures backup are typically made to tape which is then taken off-site. It is best practice to make sure that these tapes are not used for more than 1 year to prevent an insufficient backup. Other alternatives are backing up to external storage or using a backup to disk job.
Unfortunately these methods all share a typical flaw in that the storage is on-site. In the event of a catastrophic disaster the backups will go down with the primary servers and data.
Businesses who are keen to keep their data safe should seek an Online Backup Service. Online backup is a method to perform secure backups over the internet to a data centre. Your data will always be available online no matter what happens to your main site giving you the peace of mind that your business data is safe.
