Your data is your most valuable asset, but for most companies it's also the most undervalued. An average single data loss is estimated to cost a company £2000. Don't wait until it's too late to secure your data!

Secure, offsite data backups and a tested Disaster Recovery plan are not a luxury, they are a MUST HAVE for every business large or small.

Safe Backup

There are many causes of data loss, but the only sure way to safeguard against all of them is to have an offsite backup. eSafe Managed Cloud Backup provides a simple, secure and affordable way to backup your data. Not only is your backup kept offsite, it is replicated daily to 2 other servers spread across 2 continents, providing maximum protection against all types of data loss.

Having a primary backup of your data to a local storage device, such as a USB hard drive or a tape drive, is great; but if you think about the disasters that can happen at your office, such as fires, floods, theft or hardware failure, it becomes apparent that you cannot rely on just one technology for the protection of your data.

Removable storage can be taken offsite, but you're completely reliant on someone remembering to take them home and bring them back. You also need to consider how quickly can those offsite backups by retrieved if you need to restore a file quickly?

Cloud Backup

Adding Cloud backups to your backup strategy is an excellent way of insuring against data loss. Files are copied to a secure offsite location, away from your office and the source of potential disasters. Cloud backups also overcome the need to swap tapes or hard drives and replace them when they wear out. Additional storage space can easily be added to the data host if data requirements grow, so you don't need to worry about having to purchase costly replacement hardware.

Best of all Cloud backup is cost effective. When you consider the cost of purchasing hardware which will need replacing in a few years, the man hours required to design a backup strategy, set it up and maintain it you soon realise just how much a good conventional backup solution costs compared to a simple online solution.

Quota limits are for the amount of storage space available without compression and deduplication. The amount of data you can actually back up should be significantly higher. For example, using a typical compression ratio of 30%, a quota of 100GB would allow you to back up 142GB of data.
Compression and deduplication ratios vary depending on the type of data stored, though we have proven class leading figures of up to 90%!

Packages can be changed at any time, either up or down, to commence from the next monthly billing cycle. Monthly fees are invoiced quarterly, all fees are invoiced in advance.

If you need a storage quota not on our standard list please contact us for a quote.
