Servers and Desktop Backup
Small to Medium Business

The loss or corruption of critical data such as inventories, marketing and sales materials, financial information, employee records or customer records could literally cripple an organization. Small and medium businesses are typically the most vulnerable to data loss because they do not have the resources or technology to handle data storage and recovery properly or securely, which is the most critical aspect of a basic business continuity plan.

Data loss could result from trivial reasons such as accidental deletion to major causes such as fire or floods. Proper insurance coverage might help you buy new computer systems, but cannot get your vital data back. Only a sound disaster recovery plan that includes a reliable offsite backup strategy can help you restore your data and business.

Why traditional tape backup is obsolete?

The traditional tape backup takes time, money and resources to schedule and manage backups, change disks and tapes, and transport them to a secure facility. To ensure your data is actually restorable, you must test all of your backup media to verify that they are labeled and cataloged properly, un-corrupted and free from physical damage. Most businesses that do their own tape backup, know that data restoration from tape is not reliable. IT directors are actively looking for an alternate offsite data backup solution that is more cost effective, reliable and secure. (see tape backup vs SmartPick backup comparison table)

What to look for in a backup solution

  • Is your data backup and recovery system automated and scheduled to occur daily? Does it include remote sites? Does it include data on laptops?
  • Are there any manual steps involved handling the backup media?
  • Are the tapes manually transported to an offsite location or is the data automatically transferred to a secure data center?
  • Is your data encrypted before storing in the media?
  • Can your Network administrator remotely monitor and manage any backup or restore activity?

SmartPick Backup – The future solution is here!

SmartPick uses the same technology that is used by large corporations and banks to perform reliable remote backup.   There is no tape or other hardware or software to buy and maintain. There are no tapes to label, catalog and transport to offsite location. (Click here for more about how our solution works…)

Using our binary patching technology, even a DSL or T1 connection to Internet is sufficient to backup several gigabytes of data. Using 448 bit encryption technology, your data is secured so strongly that even if every super computer on this planet is put to work to decode your data, it will still take over a billion years to crack it!  (Click here to read more about our technology)

Consider This !!!

Performing everyday backup is a mundane job. It is not a good use of your network administrators time.  For most of our clients, the average cost of using SmartPick backup service is about $1 to $2 an hour, compared to an administrators time at $40 to $70 per hour.

Security With a simple tape backup, anyone can steal the tape and restore your files on another computer. SmartPick offsite backup is secure. Encrypted using the same technology used by US government for most classified information. The data cannot be retrieved by anyone except you.
Technology Tape drive model are always becoming obsolete. Need to replace tapes every 2 years with newer technology. Same story with backup software. Current technology and internet infrastructure enables most advanced backup solution for you at an affordable cost. As you don't buy any HW or SW, technology does not concern you either.

Self-service with onsite IT help. Higher risk and cost.
Full-service with offsite backup. Peace of mind and lower costs.
