Usage Scenarios
The benefits of Your-Data Internet Backup are clear when you look at real world
examples of how the service actually works:
The Lost or Stolen Laptop
The loss of any computer equipment can have untold results, with lost data including
customer information, personal details, holiday photos, contact details or product images.
We keep your laptop or desktop computer data safe and secure. So long as you have
access to the Internet, you have access to your data from anywhere in the world
to download - sales notes for that important meeting, or holiday snaps to show your
friends.
Server Failure
When servers go wrong (and we all know they do), the pain it can cause is impossible
to measure. Loss of productivity, time, reputation, and business. It doesn't impact
one person, but the whole business and your customers.
Rebuilding a server is time consuming, with the majority of time being data recovery.
The nature of most backups will show you that the data is only as ever as good as
the last backup - usually last nights.
Restoring data is a simple point and click - find the data, tell the software where
you want it saved to and click GO. If your Internet connection is a bottleneck, we
can extract the data from our servers and transport it to you on disk. Quick, clean
and simple.
Offsite Tape Storage
If you are using tapes then you should be transporting them off site for safekeeping
from floods, fire and theft. But what about the horror stories in the press
- lost tapes, broken tapes and forgotton tapes, even the wrong tapes returned!
Your-Data Internet Backup immediately solves this problem. Because your data is
fully encrypted and sent securely over the Internet, there are no tapes to handle,
lose or damage, or reliance on people to correctly rotate your tape media.
System Upgrades / Technology Refresh
Your backup server is up for replacement, your tapes can't store enough information
so you are looking at a refresh of new equipment. New servers, new tape drives,
new tapes and changes in backup software.
Its going to be expensive and have massive impact to your business, and what is
more annoying is that you know in 18-24 months, you'll probably have to do it all
over again.
You won't have the hassle of refreshing your backup technology with Your-Data Internet
Backup, because we take care of it for you. As your data grows, just let us
know how much more space you need.
You can also get to your data 24x7x365, so even if you had the latest tape and backup
technology, with Your-Data to compliment that, the chance of a recovery failure
is eliminated.
