Backup implementation

Ensuring you have a reliable backup solution is a must for any business. Your users likely aren't very good at remembering to back up their own files and so it falls to your IT solutions provider to provide the right backup software for the job. Backup software is a slightly more difficult category to tackle since the distinction between backup and synchronization apps (Skydrive, Dropbox, etc. ) has become a bit blurred.

It used to be that tape backup was the preferred method of backup, archiving, and offsite storage. There are many horror stories when it comes to tape backups, with the most common being that the IT administrator didn't verify that the backup tapes were any good until it came to restore and the tapes failed. Tape backup systems require constant monitoring, tape changing, periodic cleaning tapes, and are prone to hardware failure due to the moving parts. Due to these issues most businesses are now choosing manage hosted backup offerings which offer offsite backup, inexpensive backup storage, and deleted file retention capabilities.
