Business Backup Solutions

Depending on the scope of your data storage needs, there are business backup solutions for everyone. One of the most cost-effective backup strategies available today is real-time backup over the Internet. As far as business backup solutions go, this is an extremely low-cost, low-maintenance, low-overhead, and low-risk option.
The way it works is that a backup agent is installed on every Windows desktop in your company that you want to have backed up. This agent software is extremely light-weight and takes up virtually no disk space and no memory. What it does is it constantly monitors your computer's hard drive for any files or directories that have been added, deleted, or changed. It then instantly encrypts and sends a copy of the updated file across the Internet to a remote backup facility that only you have access to, with a username and password.Any time you need to retrieve the files that you have backed up, you can access them from a drive that has been mapped to your computer in "Windows Explorer" or "My Computer". This drive letter is connected to the remote backup drive. You can simply copy those files back down to your hard drive instantly.
