Boring But Entirely Necessary Offsite Data Backup & Why It Could Save Your Business Life

Protect Your Important Data From Disaster

You have car insurance, home insurance and travel insurance, but so many people and organisations ignore something much more vulnerable – insuring their business and personal data with data backup.

Have you thought about how important your business and personal files really are to you?
Imagine if you had to replace all the files and data stored on your computers. How long would it take? Would it even be possible? If you are running a business that relies on computers, laptops, and servers for the storage and exchange of data, the loss of this information could cost your business dearly, not just financially, but in time and reputation too.

Many things can occur that would cause the data stored on your laptop or desktop PC or Mac computer, or even your network servers, to be lost forever. Fires, floods and other disasters can damage data storage devices such as hard drives. The more portable computers can be stolen or lost.

A computer virus can corrupt or delete important documents and files on your system. Some or all of these could cause your data to be lost if there is no methodical offsite data backup system in place

Not only is it vital that you backup your data and files regularly, you should store these copies in a safe location well away from your home or office so that it is safe from crises that affect the rest of your premises. An offsite data backup service is the protection you need.
A regular and secure offsite data backup need not be expensive or time-consuming, but the security it provides you and your business is quite invaluable.

Trust UK-based SequreData with your online offsite data backup.

Data Loss is Bad Enough – What if Your Data Falls Into the Wrong Hands?
Unauthorised use of your stolen or lost data is a nightmare you don't want to happen to you. Offsite data backup needs to be safe. To protect against unauthorised use of your data, we protect your data backups by encryption. Our data backup system means that no-one has access to your backup files apart from you. Even we can’t access your data, so you are doubly secure.
There have been several stories in the press recently about large data loss by government and corporate bodies where the issue is one of data protection. Your data held with Sequre is just that - secure, encrypted.

Protecting Personal Treasures
We've talked about your business data - but what about your important personal files? Your private correspondence and emails, your family photos and videos, not to mention music, are examples of the non-business but equally valuable files you may have at home. Do you have these personal files available in case of theft or other crisis? Taking the time to copy these files and store them somewhere safe could save you a lot of heartache.
Your information will no longer risk being lost forever.

Insuring Your Business Against a Data Loss Disaster
What about the documents, files, and other data that a business stores? The loss of important and sensitive client data could cause irreparable damage, and cost your business a huge amount of time and money. And just imagine having to explain to your clients that this data has been irretrievably lost.

A disaster such as this could destroy your company. Performing offsite data backup on a regular basis means that all your files and other data are safe, even if the worst happens to the computers in your offices. Crises like fire, flood and theft are difficult enough to cope with, but knowing that your information is not lost makes the situation less stressful. Assuring clients that their data is safe and encrypted can enhance the profile of your business in their eyes.

Preventing Loss of Your Crucial Information
To make sure you don’t lose precious data to disaster, invest in an offsite data backup service. For the immense savings offsite data backup can make to you if your data is lost, the choice is quite clear.

If you conduct regular offsite backups of your data and the information is securely stored in a UK data centre, you can be sure that your information is safe, no matter what disaster strikes.

SequreData's offsite data backup service is available online through SequreData.com.

Our Free Trial is a great way of seeing how the system works for yourself.
