It is so easy to think that your business does not need secure online backup – that is until you experience a computer crash and that black screen tells you all is not well. For an SME with a server and more than one laptop computer in use the problems are compounded and finding your business without adequate backup in the aftermath of a natural disaster of human mistake can be very costly.

Backing up your data offsite is in fact not expensive or difficult and it is the natural way to insure your very precious data against loss. With the holiday period approaching and offices closing down for up to two weeks there can be no better time to contact BackupVault – leading providers of safe and secure offsite backup to SME’s - and get your data safely secured for Christmas. Call us on 020 3102 0040 or go to www.backupvault.co.uk for more information. We look forward to securing the crown jewels of your organisation!

The inconvenience of losing your laptop is easily overcome by just buying a new one but if your data was not backed up the problem suddenly becomes much more serious. Laptops have become the modern day diary/ Filofax and contain masses and masses of important and often sensitive data. Contacts, appointments, etickets, presentations and bank statements are all likely to be stored on your laptop and without this data your business travel could be severely disrupted and potential business lost.

Secure online backup from BackupVault will give you peace of mind and enable you to continue you working day with the minimum of disruption. If and when you need to restore your data it is just three mouse clicks away and our 24/7 service means you will always be able to access that critical and sensitive information and continue your day.

Secure online backup is not an option it is a necessity! Make sure you get your data securely stored with BackupVault. Don’t delay, call us today on 020 3102 0040 or go to BackupVault for more information about our  comprehensive, secure data storage services.

Many offices will be closing down for up to two weeks over the Christmas and New Year period and any one of a number of disasters can strike whist offices are empty.

Last year one of our clients returned to their offices to find that a rodent had been busy chewing vital computer cables and all their precious data had to be restored. Luckily they had BackupVault powered by Attix5 software in place and normal service was resumed almost immediately.

We all would like a white Christmas but with snow comes ice and with ice comes burst pipes in unattended offices. Water and computers do not mix and whilst you may think you have data safely backed up on site can you really be sure this is the case?

Laptops too are vulnerable. It might seem a good idea to take your work home but Christmas is just the time when it may be stolen. Just imagine losing all the emails that come in whilst you are at home and how do you explain your negligence to your boss? Safe secure online backup will at least mean that you can retrieve those  important contacts and start the new year on the right note.

All these risks may seem trivial and unimportant now and most of us believe that data loss will never happen to us but it can so easily happen and when you evaluate how irrecoverable and irreplaceable you data is along with the chance of unauthorised access to data that is not securely stored with offsite backup it makes sense to look now at that early Christmas gift of secure online backup for your business.

Owners of SME’s are often so busy with the day to day running their business that the issue of backing up their company data is often left to chance. It is only when disaster strikes that they realise just how important it is to have adequate offsite backup that can reinstate their data in a matter of minutes.

Researcher Andy works from home and provides statistical data and business intelligence to a number of small businesses. Historically Andy held research data on two computers and an external hard drive. A sense of unease and a computer virus led Andy to evaluate how safe the data actually was and she realised that the time had come to invest in online backup services. Attix5 had been recommended by a business associate and a service was put in place almost immediately and not a day too soon.

A few weeks after the online backup service had been put in place a major computer failure wiped the data from her laptop just as Andy was about to deliver a large project to an important client. What could have been a major blow to a small business turned out to be a minor glitch as the data was immediately restored to a new machine. The process was carried out remotely and the contract was delivered on time.

What could have been an extremely stressful and expensive data loss was avoided and the reality of what could have been was not lost on Andy or the client both of whom expressed their gratitude to www.backupvault.co.uk and in particular to the Attix5 system.

• Do you have safe and secure backup for your customer data and business records?

• Are your data storage facilities adequate for the needs of your business?

• Do you rely on a member of your own staff to backup data daily?

Without a 100% secure data protection your business is certainly at risk and potentially extremely vulnerable. Data protection is a critical issue that demands the best. You need to know that in the event of a disaster such as theft, fire, flooding, virus, power cut or a technical malfunction you can restore your data in minutes.

Flooding has been a particular nightmare for small businesses here in the UK and some SME’s had computers and servers damaged beyond repair. SME owners and business professionals who routinely carry their PC’s with them in the car are also especially vulnerable to having their work interrupted by vital data loss due to lack of effective online backup.

We none of us appreciate the inconvenience that is caused by poor data protection and the solutions we have here at BackupVault are really so simple. No matter what kind of server, PC, notebook or tablet you have there is an online backup solution to suit you at a price you really can afford.

The stress of recovering from a human disaster and lost critical files cannot be compensated for so our tip for you today is to look seriously at your secure online backup and data recovery and ask yourself:

• Is it protecting your critical files? Your server, your computer and all other mobile devices?
• You may think you have all your files backed up but are your emails safe?
• Do you have business data stored on your iPad and is this adequately backed up?

Take data backup seriously! The fact is that the cost of lost data has risen 68% in the last five years so when and if disaster hits you it makes sense to be secure in the knowledge that BackupVault can restore your data in a matter of minutes because it has your data safely stored with effective on line backup.

Our online backup service uses a combination of SSL and AES encryption. When backups are created they are encrypted on the users server/PC using the key the user created. This encrypted data is then sent over the Internet using SSL encryption where it arrives at our storage servers.

A little tip: Ask your current online backup company what would happen to your data if you forgot your encryption key/password? If they say they can reset it for you then it is likely they are not using any kind of encryption at all – or they store your encryption key on their systems. BackupVault uses an encryption key known only by you. We do not store this encryption key anywhere on our systems. You can be rest assured that your data remains on our storage systems in an encrypted state at all times.

From today onwards all online backup trials will allow up to 10Gb of backup. Full 24 hour support including telephone, email and remote is available for the trial period. If you require more space, please ask.

It has just been announced that back in May, Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council lost a memory stick containing details of 18,000 residents. Worst still was that fact that this information was unencrypted.

The council was found to be in breach of The Data Protection Act. A report found that steps were not taken to ensure that staff were trained in basic encryption methods.

Many small businesses use memory sticks as a form of backup for their company. Whilst they are quick and convenient, they suffer from the following drawbacks:

• Not automatic and labour intensive
• Only keeps one copy of a file. What happens if you need to restore a file from 10 days ago?
• Not encrypted – unless you use third party software
• Limited storage space
• Can be easily lost

BackupVault Online Backup addresses all of these shortcomings  and more. Sign up for a free online backup trial today to see the difference it can make for your business.
