Data Backup Services: Service Centralized Backup

Today, with companies increasingly computerized data that are stored on network computers, is highly important, the value of such information may be so great that it is impossible to calculate the cost of such data.

The data loss or system failure caused by human error, faulty hardware or software, a natural disaster like fire, and unfortunately to this day, a robbery, are the reasons that companies increasingly are preparing to store these data.

But regardless of the possible causes, the development of strategies for data backup and system and, more importantly, to recover them in case of failures, it is essential to the continued success of your business.

Backup to disk, tape backup or backup on a remote computer?
For a quick recovery, the disk is the solution. However, if your need is only the archiving of data and permanent storage, the tape may be the best way out. If you would like to store their data in a location outside your office, ensuring your data if your company suffers a natural disaster, or theft for example, the ideal solution would be to store your data on a remote computer.

Planning disaster recovery

However, downtime is something that can never be acceptable. Therefore, planning for disaster recovery is highly required, trying to recover data as quickly as possible, sometimes minutes, poor planning is to recover the data, may take several days.

As we saw above, there are plenty of backup options. For each company, an option becomes more viable than the other, sometimes there is a need to add more than one option.

But for all cases, the operation of the backup operation is very similar. A central computer (server, for example), is plugged into the storage unit, an external hard drive, Storage, Tape Drive, etc., and the stations of the network is installed on a client system, making it fit the central server to see the data that copied.

In the case of a remote computer, the data is transferred via Internet or dedicated link, only the data modified during the day hours.

Once backed up, the system generates a report by e-mail informing the managers and officers of the network, if the copy was successful, if there were any problems, the time it was made, number of bytes, etc..

To restore the data, the central server retrieves the requested information, and provides them a reserved area. This recovery time varies with the chosen medium for storage, as noted above, this depends on company policy.
