“With an automated service like Remote Data Backups, you can be assured that this mission critical task is occurring nightly. It is much more cost effective and reliable than manually using tape, zip, Jazz, CDRW, or DVD drives. Once the service has been set up, it typically requires no human intervention and requires no additional hardware.”

Top 10 Backup Solution Essentials

Click the lines below to read why each feature is so critical, and how Remote Data Backups excels where alternative backup options fail. (show/hide all)

	Essential Backup System Feature	Others
1)	Automatic Backups	No
Our complete, accurate and automatic backups save at least 10 minutes a day over manual backups. At $20 an hour, that translates into about $67 a month in savings! We optimize transfers using superior compression and delta block incremental technology. Our intuitive online backup software is easy for a non-technical person to set up and run. Never again will you need to wait or pay an expensive IT technician to restore your files. Bottom line: Never again will you or your employees spend the time (or forget) to run backups - they run automatically every night on the backup schedule you set.
2)	Offsite Backups	No
Stores your PC data offsite protects against natural disasters such as fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, lightning, solar flares and earthquakes; Protects your computer hard drive from theft (laptop theft is very common) and sabotage. Bottom line: Onsite backup solutions protect only against certain technical disasters.
3)	Easy, Reliable File Restores	No
How long does it take to find and restore your files with another backup system? Do you need to call a tech, track down media stored offsite, fumble through multiple tapes or disks trying to piece together your data? Did you know over 50% of tape restores fail? Bottom line: With Remote Data Backups, any non-technical user can quickly and easily restore exactly the files you need.
4)	Retrieve Multiple File Versions	No
Can you easily roll back a file you changed, overwrote, or deleted? Bottom line: Restore up to 10 previous versions of any backed up file, for up to 30 days (whichever occurs first). We store files deleted off your system for 30 days, just in case.
5)	Remote File Access	No
Can you retrieve your backup files from any PC (home, travelling, sales meeting, etc.)? Bottom line: Enjoy the convenience of being able to access your data files 24/7 from literally any computer with Internet access.
6)	Easy System Restore	No
Can you easily restore your entire hard drive (data, programs, preferences, Windows registry files) after a crash? Bottom line: If you have RDB's 10 GB or larger full system backup, you can completely restore your computer and be back to normal in minutes.
7)	Unmatched Data Security	No
Where do you store your backups -- in your office, at home, in your glove compartment? Is your data encrypted or even password protected? Bottom line: No other backup option can match the level of security that Online Data Backups offers -- transmitted and stored in government-level 128-bit AES encrypted format over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and securely stored at our two mirrored, world-class data centers.
8)	Proven Reliability	No
Our service is built on rock solid software technology and ultra-secure, mirrored data centers with redundant bandwidth & power and historical 99.99% data availability. Backup media (tape, DVD, CD, Jaz, Zip or floppy) is notoriously failure-prone. Backup media are vulnerable to environmental damage (heat, sunlight, humidity, liquids, dust) and human mishandling (scratched, bent and dropped, lost or stolen). Magnetic backup media (external, RAID drives, USB, etc.) are also subject to environmental and human risks, and are frequently damaged electromagnetic fields emitted by televisions, monitors, speakers and other electronic devices. Bottom line: Other backup options are simply too vulnerable to reliably protect your mission-critical data.
9)	Cost-Effective Backup Solution	No
How much will you pay for replaceable media and hardware? How much time will it take to design a system, set up the process, administer backups and take them offsite daily? How much will it cost for a data recovery specialist to restore your data? Bottom line: Our service provides unlimited backup and retrieval of your data or entire system for a low fixed cost, with no hardware, replaceable media or support expenses.
10)	Free 24/7 Expert Support	No
Do you have data recovery service to call if your in-house backup solution fails? How much do they charge? Bottom line: Need backup, restore or recovery help? We're here for you, toll free 24/7.
