What is Offsite Backup?
Everyone knows that having a good data backup plan is a critical part of business today. From hard drives that develop bad sectors to the possibility of fire, bad things can happen. Having a reliable data recovery plan in place can mean the difference between your business not missing a beat or losing thousands of hours of work.
Taking your Backups Offsite
Offsite just means any location other than where your data is primarily used. This is basically an insurance measure in case something drastic like a fire or hurricane physically destroys the assets that you keep in your locations where data is backed up from. If that unfortunate event happens, you will know that you have a copy or several copies of this important information stored somewhere else.
The offsite location that you choose to store your data in is an important as well. Everyone should want that location to be physically safe from weather and fire since that is why you are putting the backup there in the first place. Ideally the location is secure from theft as well. Throwing physical backup devices like tapes in a safe at home has been one approach to achieving offsite data backup. This approach is better than nothing but it is not the best.
BitLeap® offers you a way to automatically and securely transfer your data backups to multiple offsite locations that are physically and technically secure. BitLeap’s automatic offsite data backup service can help organizations comply with legal regulations that require them to have appropriate controls of their data like HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. Since the process of getting your data to these locations is a secure transfer over your existing broadband connection, there is no time in which your important data is traveling around in a car or briefcase. Your data is always 100% secure.
