  • ...while DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM are economical backup solutions, individual users remain responsible for putting backup rotation schemes in place and for keeping track of the media. With individual tapes' total data capacity well below that of hard drives found in today's PCs, backups would often have to span multiple tapes, making these tasks even more of a chore. Online backup services make more sense.

  • Consider just how much time, money, and effort it would take to recover a system whose files were destroyed by mechanical failure, a virus attack, or user error. Also consider how much money you would lose simply because of downtime. A major purpose of backing up is to avoid such expenses.

Why Obar4u for Business?

How valuable to your business is the data stored on your computers?

What would happen if you lost that data? Could you recreate it? Even if you could recreate it, how much time would this process take? How much money would it cost you in lost business and lost opportunities?  And finally, would your business even survive? 
If your business is like most businesses today, your computer data is vital to your everyday operations.  In fact, information is often regarded as the lifeblood of today's businesses.  Information such as your:
•    Customer Records
•    Emails and Contact Information
•    Financial Data
•    Key Databases
•    Important Documents
Unfortunately, your servers, computers and laptops and the data that they store are vulnerable to an ever-growing list of misfortunes.

Viruses, Hackers and Spyware:

Computer viruses, hackers and spyware can wreak havoc on a company's network and data infrastructure.  Viruses are getting more dangerous; spyware is getting more malicious and hackers more brazen.

Hard Drive and Hardware Failures:

While hard drives are constantly getting better, faster, and cheaper are storing more data, they are still extremely susceptible to failure.  In fact, all hard drives will eventually fail as they are not designed to last forever.  And of course, unfortunately, you never know when they will fail.  Power surges, electrostatic shocks, circuit board shorts and head crashes can all wipe out the data that is stored on your hard drives.

Natural Disasters and Theft:

You probably have business interruption insurance that will protect your physical assets from disasters such as fires and floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.  But what is protecting your data?  Anything that can damage your office can destroy your computers and the information that they store.   And on top of natural disasters, we live in a world today where terrorism and theft must be considered.

Human Error:

Even the greatest of employees aren't perfect.  Sooner or later, by accident, an important document will get deleted, a spreadsheet overwritten or a crucial database corrupted.

Backing up is the only way to protect your business's valuable data!
Hopefully you now have an understanding of the importance of ensuring that your company's data is always safe and always available to you.

Sarbanes-Oxley, FINRA, HIPAA, and other regulations mandate safeguards surrounding the backup, privacy, and availability of sensitive information and certain records.  Obar4u goes to extreme lengths to be commercial-grade, offering all the access and security controls regulated industries desire.
