Secure Remote Backup

What is Secure Remote Backup?

Remote Backup for Schools is the simplest and most secure system providing offsite backup of data held on servers, workstations and laptops. Secure Remote Backup protects millions of files for schools by ensuring data is automatically saved to our remote storage data centre on a daily basis. Data is then mirrored online to a separate secure data centre for added protection.

We can easily recover the data to your system in the event of loss or disaster recovery.

Do you need Secure Remote Backup?

Secure Remote Backup is an essential element of any school disaster recovery plan. Many schools and businesses still rely on tape backups that are performed as and when a tape is inserted. Have you considered what happens if there is a fire, flood or theft and the tapes are destroyed or lost?

Are the existing backups monitored and data on the tapes checked? In our experience we have seen backup tapes inserted and replaced without any data being written to the tapes!

Check your backup and contact us for advice.
