One in four companies risk going out of business by never backing up
According to recent research, 42% of businesses said they only back up their business data once a year, 31% reported monthly back-ups and 15% performed daily back-ups. According to Computer World it costs over £500 to recover lost data from one laptop alone which could result in hundreds of millions of pounds in lost information annually, as 60% of business data resides on PC desktops and laptops.
All businesses should ensure they have appropriate back-up strategy in place as they can no longer afford to lose critical data purely on the basis of human error. Backing up data is one of those ‘tasks’ that businesses know they should do, but rarely give it the focus it deserves. It can mean the difference between business success and failure. However, it often takes a disaster for companies to address the issue by which time it’s often too late. To help address this issue, Cloud services specialists Outsourcery has launched its latest online server back-up solution called StoreSafe Online Backup.
Piers Linney, joint CEO of Outsourcery, said, “Companies can no longer afford to leave themselves vulnerable by not effectively backing-up their critical business data. Many businesses still view this as a chore and inevitably fail to take the necessary precautions. Outsourcery recognises that this is an issue many companies need to address and we have made it easy for them with StoreSafe, which provides a secure, reliable way to back-up all the information on business servers, whether they are hosted at our secure data centres, at a users premises, or with another hosting provider. Furthermore, by using StoreSafe Online Server Backup, businesses will only pay a monthly fee and will therefore avoid expenditure in on-site management and maintenance, along with the cost of employing staff to keep control of data storage.”
StoreSafe Online Server Backup allows companies to manage the service themselves, including scheduling automatic back-ups, restoring lost files and monitoring reports and logs. Packaged to support a range of server sizes, businesses can now benefit from safe and secure back-ups for their business critical applications, along with access to activity reports and restored information alerts all from a web-based management console. StoreSafe Online Server Backup also provides the ultimate protection against data loss caused by fire, theft and data corruption. It is suitable for any company that needs to safeguard their business and customer data, without having to manually back-up, thus removing the unwelcomed task most businesses try to avoid.
Companies don’t have to invest time or an upfront expense to implement an in-house solution. For more information on the product go to
