What is Online Backup?

An online backup service will automatically schedule the backup of your computer files and data via the internet to a remote server. Files can then be recovered if the original is lost.

Online Backup offers an alternative to optical, hard drive or tape backup solutions. While traditional methods can be very effective, they require capital to set up and staff to operate them. An online backup system avoids both these problems by fully automating the process and reducing the need for ongoing hardware and media purchases.

Why should you consider an online backup plan with Excellence IT?

Online backup is a characteristic of disaster recovery. It is the first step towards a disaster recovery plan and crucial to your business continuity.

Online backups offer several advantages in terms of ease of use. No capital outlay is required for purchasing new equipment. There are no ongoing media costs or staff costs, and running costs are limited to paying a monthly fee.

Setup and installation is a simple matter of downloading the software, and takes only a few minutes to configure. Data recovery is equally fast, as there is no searching for the right tape or waiting for IT staff to recover lost data. The backup process itself is completely automated which ensures that it gets done, and the backed up files can then be recovered by anyone with permission, allowing file sharing with travelling colleagues, clients, or home PCs.
