Computer Backup: Taking matters into your own hands.
New York, September 26, 2006 — Corporations have long been concerned about data security, and have the benefit of large IT departments to protect their data and help employees get back on track when files are lost. But, as employees become more mobile, they are saving important company files on their local PC – especially when they take their laptops on the road. In light of this trend, when employees are out of the office, who is responsible for backing up important company documents?
More and more, companies are making the individual responsible for information they save to their laptop. The problem is, IT departments do not necessarily have a solution in place to overcome this challenge. Would you know how to effectively back up your computer files or how to restore them after a crash?
A recent study found:
- Thirty-seven per cent of the survey's respondents admitted to backing up their files less than once per month
- Nine per cent admitted they have never backed up their files
- 22 per cent said backing up information is on their to-do list, but they seldom do it
Even if you do back up your files once per month, have you ever calculated how much you could lose even if you lost just a few weeks work?
Take matters into your own hands by using Data Deposit Box for automated online backup support. Once the program is loaded, selected folders are watched 24 hours a day so changes are backed up as soon as files are closed. All data being backed up is compressed and encrypted before leaving the PC. Data is then stored at the data center in this encrypted form. In case of computer failure; users can restore their files to another PC almost immediately.
According to Peter Carroll, CTO, Data Deposit Box, "Online backup offers peace of mind. It’s transparent – always working, no backup schedule required, and you don't run the risk of losing data between backups."
No one can tell you when you will lose your data, your laptop, or your server due to a crash, theft or error. But if you have taken matters into your own hands – you will be well protected!
