Remote backup
Just have a think about some of the data your business stores on computers. This doubtless includes a lot of data critical to the running of your business. Although computers are reliable, this information could be lost if your computer hard drive becomes corrupted, or your computer is damaged with a fire or flood. It could be something as simple as spilling a cup of coffee over it!
The obvious way to safeguard against this is to ensure that you regularly back up your critical data. The data could be copied to a CD or spare hard drive, and should ideally be kept off the premises in case of flood or fire. But how many small businesses actually get round to doing this regularly, with all the other pressures they are under?
It is so much simpler to automate this process, and with a broadband connection you can arrange for critical data to be backed up regularly and automatically to a remote site. This is yet another service that you could get from an Application Service Provider (ASP).
When you think about what’s at stake, it makes compelling sense.
