Remote Backup
Remote backup is one of the most actively developing areas of backup, gaining popularity day by day. Backups stored on remote servers are very reliable and convenient in many situations. Let's see the concept of remote backup closer:
- Offsite storage. Since remote backup implies keeping data in a distance from the main computer, it is not threatened by local disasters, such as fires or floods, and whatever happens to your office, your backups will stay safe.
- Reliability of remote backups. Contemporary backup services store data in a sort of a distributed network that is protected from any risks of data loss as much as possible. Each block of data is always duplicated several times, which provides the highest degree of protection.
- Cost-effectiveness. The more data is kept in the system, the less expensive is "specific cost" of the storage. For a small company, creation of a remote IT-infrastructure for keeping PC backups is simply unreasonable, while a large remote backup service (with hundreds of clients and thousands of terabytes of data to be stored) can provide virtually unlimited storage at very low price.
- Availability. Backups stored at remote backup services are available 365 days a year from any place on the Earth. This makes the business more flexible and effective: all data are always at hand, wherever you are and whatever you do.
When choosing a remote backup service, it is recommended to select the one that is provided with a full-featured and easy-to-use software that facilitates and automates backup-related processes. Supported features may include presets for fast selection of data for backup, compression, various security options, task scheduling and other.
