As a business owner, you understand the importance of your data, and thus the importance of keeping your data safe. While virus software, firewalls, and other security measures are all a vital component of proper computer and network maintenance, the only way to ensure that your data will always be safe, is to back it up.

Traditional methods of backup include tapes, CDs and DVDs, ZIP drives and floppies. All of these methods have significant disadvantages. Backups are generally not automatic and even more importantly, someone has to physically transfer the media off-site where it must be stored in a safe place.

Fortunately, Internet technology has now allowed a vastly superior method of backing up: online backup. Online Backup (sometimes also referred to as remote backup) has considerable advantages over other backup methods:

• Automatic operation
• Off-site safe storage
• Scalable as you grow
• Easily retrievable
