BACKING UP YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS

You should always think ahead and plan recover your files if something catastrophic should ever happen.  For example, according to hard drive manufactures they report about a 10 hard drive to 1000 hard drive failure rate in the first three months.   While it is unlikely, drives do fail.   For virtual accounts developers should keep a copy of all the files on their own workstation - just in case.  For dedicated server customers who must take responsibility for their files, we offer several solutions and recommendations.
RAIDCase - $95 per month per dedicated server. This is an excellent solution for hard drive failure.   It cannot be considered a solution for data recover, especially when files change daily.  It also protects against the time required to bring a server back online after a hard drive failure.  Using RAID 1, three drives are used - one drive is always out site of the server stored in a cabinet for the drives.  We believe a RAIDCase is much superior to a tape backup.  A major risk of tape systems is that even when all indicators point to successful backups the tape restore can fail.
Secure Firewall Protected Offsite Data Storage:  (virtual or dedicated) SecureWebs provides secure, affordable, online data backup services to ensure a smooth successful recovery from the loss of business data.  We will automate the backup of your files to an offsite secure location.  Our offsite backup servers are safely operated behind a firewall and can be  automated, so backups occur regularly and reliably via the internet to our secure off site location monitored 24 hours a day.
