The amount of data used has increased exponentially over the last few years, as has the importance of backing it up. Conventional methods of ‘backing up’, although tried and tested through the years are still unreliable. This has lead to the development of more sophisticated systems to backup and secure data - crucially in the event of a disaster.

Then the question! - “What if something were to happen to my premises? Not only would I lose my servers and data, but my backup too!” The requirement to have a secure backup offsite proves to be a necessity.

As proven in the press time and time again, people in positions of trust have taken data from their work place, and absentmindedly have managed to leave that data exposed for all to scrutinise.

Now, the requirements for dependable backup systems are not only that they are offsite but secured, encrypted and unobtainable by unauthorised persons. The internet and the varying aspects of networking have now made that possible.
