| EntraCom Remote Backup Service
works like regular data backup software, with
one important difference. Instead of sending
backups to a tape drive or other media attached
to the computer it is backing up, EntraCom Remote Backup Service
sends the backup over the Internet, regular
telephone lines, or other network connections to
your backup server safely offsite. It does this
(usually) at night while computers are not being
used. Backups can also be done on-demand, any
time.
It is completely automatic. In fact, you may
even forget it’s working. Most businesses put
their lives on the line every night and don’t
realize it. With businesses depending more and
more on the data stored in their computers,
proper backups are becoming much more critical.
EntraCom Remote Backup Service
accomplishes several essential steps that are
often overlooked or done improperly by other
backup software - especially in the regular
non-automated backup systems.
Backups are done on schedule, reliably. Most
businesses don’t do this. For one reason or
another, they don’t keep a regular backup
regimen. Usually it’s because the person
responsible for doing backups (if there is one)
is too busy doing something else, or someone is
using the computer when it’s time for a
backup, or they simply forget. Since remote
backups are done with automated software usually
at night, when nobody is using the computer,
backups are always done on schedule.
The correct files are backed up. Ordinary
backup software is often installed with a list
of files to be backed up. This set of files
usually represents the state of the system when
the software was installed, and often misses
critical files. Further, it often fails to back
up files that get added later. Compounding this
problem, VERY few businesses take the trouble to
reset their backup software regularly to include
new files.
EntraCom Remote Backup Service solves
this problem by constantly reevaluating the
computer system, adding files to the backup as
needed. Several full copies of files are stored
using a sophisticated version control system
unavailable in most other backup software of any
kind. This is much too important to overlook.
The general definition of "proper"
backups requires redundancy. One must keep
multiple copies of the same files at different
points in their development, called versions. As
an example, you should have a different copy of
each backed-up file for each backup session.
Further, you should be able to easily restore
any of your files up to any given point in time.
Banks do it, big corporations do it, and so
should small businesses. Only EntraCom Remote Backup Service
has such an easy to use version control system.
Backups are encrypted for complete security.
Tape backups are not generally encrypted, so
anyone can read them and gain access to client
database, billing records, payroll, tax info,
and everything else on computers.
EntraCom Remote Backup Service
encrypts its backups using your choice of eight
of the strongest cryptographic methods in the
world for complete security so nobody, not even
the RBS Service Provider, can read the files.
Finally and most importantly - Backups are
immediately sent offsite and stored safely away
from the clients' computers and their
businesses. This is where almost every business
makes its biggest mistake. Even if they do
everything else perfectly, backups are of little
use if their building burns, or they are unable
to physically recover their tapes from the
premises. Most small companies who do backups
leave the tapes in the building with the
computer, where they can be destroyed right
along with the computer.
Of course, you can see that this would be a
problem in a fire or flood or an earthquake. But
it's also useful in emergencies where businesses
are forced to evacuate their offices quickly.
Even businesses that do backups and have good,
undamaged tapes have to shut down. Many go out
of business simply because they don't have
access to their data.
EntraCom Remote Backup Service solves
this problem by automatically storing this
valuable data at more than one site. So, a
business can be back up and running with new
computers and their latest data no matter what
catastrophe happens.
EntraCom Remote Backup Service
runs on Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, ME, and 2000. EntraCom Remote Backup Service
