Insurance for your data ... the value of secure remote backups.

Backups can be compared to life insurance policies for your business, but they really offer much more. Quality backups are like a life insurance plan that would resurrect you if you passed away rather than simply grant your loved ones some monetary assistance. They can offer your old life/business back.

Think about that ...

It's too late baby now, it's too late ...

I've had 3 calls in the past two months from people asking me how to recover data from a dead drive. I've had to tell these people that my company does not recover data that has not been backed up with our service. I usually then tell them that they can call a friend of mine that works for a computer forensics company and he will tell you there is only a 20% chance the data can be recovered.



20% chance of recovering the data ... I don't like those odds.

Companies like my friend's usually charge $200 or more just to evaluate the drive. If he can recover data, he will charge any where from $400 - $4900 for a PC hard drive, $1500 - $12,000 for a server drive and that is only up to 15G.

Drives these days are cheap. You can get a good 500G drive for around $85.00, but the data that you store on it may cost you your entire business if it is lost.

Let me ask you ... is $5.00 a month worth spending to avoid the trouble these 3 callers were in?

I think so ...
