Online Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backing up your files is one of the most important tasks that have to be performed with your IT system. Without a sophisticated business grade solution you may find yourself out of business trying to work out why the data you thought was backed up wasn't’t.

The most common form of backup disaster is human error, where members of staff have not swapped out backup drives, and have not taken any of the drives or tapes off premise.

Key features

1. Low bandwidth requirements:
Initial data upload can be through removable disk or throttled based on operational requirements so as not to disrupt with business activity. Double Take provides you with a data management system which intelligently intersperses data packages without slowing down your network.

2. Continuous backup of data:
Changes to on-premise data and applications are, by default updated to our cloud.
Infrastructure is constantly in the background, so the backups held are up to date and can be used from any location including an internet café, Wi-Fi, Smart phones etc (Ideal for Remote Office Workers).

3. Secure dedicated repositories:
Each customer has its own secure repository for their backups ensuring confidentiality and continuous protection. Customers on the High Availability One Hour Restore Service have dedicated mirrored servers.

4. Grow available backup storage as required:
As repository servers and mirrored servers are located in our Cloud infrastructure, they can be upgraded (either HD space or memory/CPU power) as required, enabling lower setup and optimised running costs.

5. Cost:
Because we are partnered with one of the UK’s largest data centre companies we have unique access to their discounted hosting charges and purchasing power. Our DR solutions are therefore no more expensive than most plain data backup solutions with all the added features and safeguards.
