Backup (BaaS)

Every hour that your business isn’t operating costs you money and clients.

Network Overdrive’s Backup as a Service can ensure your important data is stored securely, giving you piece of mind should the worst-case scenario happen. All data is stored in secure, redundant offsite facilities, ensuring you’ll never have to deal with faulty media, costly maintenance, compromised or corrupted data or troublesome and complicated recovery processes.

• Secure data archiving
• Checking of audit reports and backup logs regularly to ensure backups are executing properly
• Working with you in the event of a server failure to restore data to a repaired or replacement server

Important things to note:

Backups are only as good as your recovery

There is no point having good backup systems if it takes you days to recover the files. How much money and opportunities would be lost if your company’s operations were down for a week?

Hindsight won’t help you

The worst time to find out if your backups fail is when you need to restore them.

Imagine thinking you have good backups only to find you don’t when you need the data. You can only be sure if you regularly test your recovery procedures. Use our Data Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) to never have this happen to you.

Backups need to be updated/changed as cloud technology is adopted

Your company’s security rests on you knowing where your important data is located and how to secure and recover it as and when you need to. Companies often have a backup strategy that was good when it was implemented but doesn’t protect their cloud investment or a new server that was added after the backup. Upgrading your software without upgrading your backup strategy leaves you vulnerable to large gaps in your data storage. Backup policies need to be created, checked and updated regularly.

Why trust one busy employee with your business security?

Often businesses ask their administrative staff to swap tapes or take a backup offsite. Is it fair and reasonable to trust them to always remember to do this job? Murphy’s Law dictates that the day you have data loss is the day they forget.

Criminals are using Ransomware to encrypt and corrupt your data AND backups.

An off-site, tamper-proof backup is the only guaranteed way to protect your business from Ransomware attacks.
