More on MySecureBackUp

When it comes to backing up files, you have two choices: on-site and remote. With an on-site backup solution, all your data is kept on the premises. You may use an external storage drive that attaches directly to your computer or some form of networked storage, such as a file server.

With local storage, all the data is within your reach - and therein lies both its value and its risk. You can always access your information when necessary, but that information is vulnerable to loss, whether through theft (someone breaking in and stealing computer equipment) or damage (such as a leaky water pipe or a natural disaster).

MySecureBackUp is a form of remote backup that moves the data out of your office and our large, and powerful shared data center. This means you don't incur the capital expense of purchasing backup equipment, and in the event of a disaster you can still recover critical data.

Automation is another key benefit to our system. A software program won't forget to make an extra copy of a critical folder; a harried employee at the end of a busy week might. By taking the backup task out of your users' hands you avoid the problem of, "I forgot."

Online remote backup has other advantages as well. On your own, you are unlikely to be able to provide the multiple layers of security and accessibility, but we store your data in a facility that keeps out unauthorized persons, offers network-intrusion monitoring, data encryption, and emergency generators to keep the facility running during power outages.

Backing up critical files is like exercising: everyone knows they should do it, but most people don't do it enough.

Automated online MySecureBackUp requires only an Internet connection, a small software program, and a few minutes of your time to install and configure it. To perform a backup, you simply install the software on every computer containing data you want to back up; set up a backup schedule; and identify the files and folders to be copied. The software then sends copies of the files to a remote repository via the Internet, and continues to do so on the schedule you chose with no further input from you.

What's more, you can use your space not just for backup but you can use it as any other drive on your computer making it easy to collaborate and share files in an office environment.
