Offsite Backup
Enterprise-class Data Protection
We have an enterprise-class offsite backup infrastructure with a multi-site backup and replication platform. We can deliver the security and reliability of enterprise design without the sacrifice of local storage. Best of all, the multi-platform offsite backups are all inclusive and provided at an affordable rate competitive with what you’d expect to pay for backup software alone.
Features
Global Redundancy
Offsite Backups are currently available on two redundant networks. By uploading your critical data to us you are not just shifting a single point of failure, you are introducing a geographically redundant storage network to secure your most critical data.
Continuous Data Protection
Our SecuRemote offsite backup product also features an optional Continuous Data Protection, allowing you to upload snapshots of file changes as soon as they are made. This way you can always recover any changes made during the workday. We do not enforce ratios of offsite to onsite backups so you can use any storage appliance of your choice to store data locally as well as offsite.
Built In Retention Policies
SecuRemote is very useful for compliance and business retention policies by allowing you to design backup sets with specific retention intervals spanning years if necessary (for financial documents).
Seeding & Bandwidth Throttling Option
For small remote sites with slow internet connectivity uploading large backup sets at full speed is frequently not an option. For larger companies, backing up hundreds of GB over the internet can take a long time. Our offsite backup solution can help with both. Each server or PC can have it’s bandwidth throttled to a set rate so that the Internet connection is not fully consumed with offsite backup activity. For larger backup sets we do offer seeding services which involve manual upload with removale USB devices. This allows you to get the initial backup done quickly and only use your bandwidth for changed files.
All-inclusive Agents
The SecuRemote solution includes agents for Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista (32bit or 64bit), Windows Server 2003 / 2008 (32bit or 64bit), Apple Mac OS X 10.4+, Linux, Solaris and Novell. Backup agents also natively backup Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and Volume Shadow Copy snapshots. All of these are included in the monthly cost, with an optional addon to include Exchange brick-level backups (individual mail items).
Reporting, Access and Reliability
SecuRemote includes extensive reporting functionality, giving you a true insight into what is being backed up. Offsite backups can be accessed at any time and restored over the Internet just by downloading and installing the agent. In case of a catastrophic event at SecuRemote, your data is stored in multiple data centres. Security is simplest of all – your data is encrypted using a 256bit RSA key on the client server or workstation and is transmitted securely to SecuRemote.
