Backup Solutions
All businesses should back up their systems as a matter of course. Too often we hear of cases where people didn't think it was worth it, until it was too late! Losing business critical data can often mean the end of the business. Even losing less critical data can cause long delays in working and lots of extra work.
For many people, the problem with doing regular backups is not so much the cost, as the hassle of changing tapes or media, and remembering to kick off backups. So, here are some products we recommend which aim to make things so simple that you can set them up and then forget about them.

Backup for Workgroups
Backup for Workgroups is an easy to use disk-to-disk backup program designed to work on small Windows networks. We use it, and find it great. You install the server on your designated backup PC, and then install the client on each of your PCs, set up which files to backup, and when, and leave it to it. Restoring is simple and reliable as well.
Backups are kept on your network, for quick access, and you can tell it to make mirrored copies of the backup store for you to take offsite, or copy offsite over a VPN.

Online Backup
Our Online Backup service is a managed offsite backup service. With this service, all your backups are automatically, and securely, stored in an offsite location. It works with Windows PCs and Macs. This is ideal if you are worried about keeping an offsite backup, and want to have that take place totally automatically. Restoring files is really easy, again. You can also have the software backup locally as well, so you have a local backup AND an offsite backup.
