ABS Back Up

	Do you use and rely on a PC or Network server for your business ? We are not trying to scare anybody but ask yourself these questions: ● When did I last do a back-up ? ● When did I last check that a back-up actually works ? ● Where is that back-up right now ?
	The subject of back-ups often only comes up when one is needed. When a back-up fails or is not available the consequences are always costly and can be catastrophic.
	Of course most of us have some kind of back-up policy in place. Many small businesses back up to an alternating tape system of some kind. ( At ABS Digital we schedule regular checks of customers back-up systems. We are also notified automatically by email if a backup fails to take place.)
	Where are your back-up tapes now ?

	If the answer is "in a fire safe" then you are probably OK. Anything else and you are seriously at risk.
	The concept of storing data offsite in a "Data Centre" is new to smaller businesses but a commonplace strategy for many larger organisations. Data is encrypted and backed up to secure servers at a data centre.
	In conjunction with our channel partner TCP we are now able to offer this service which provides a real solution to all of the drawbacks of onsite back-up storage.
	Put Simply: The (supplied) software on your PC or server carries out backup of whichever files you choose. The software Encrypts your data which is then stored via a background or out of hours internet connection on TCP's data centre servers You can carry on doing anything you want while your data is being backed up automatically in the background.
	Important Point Your data is offsite and it is encrypted. Nobody at the Data-centre read or open anything.

Standard Features

● Online backup - From 1Gb to 40Gb of data stored in 2 mirrored
data centres

● Password protected & encrypted:

● Recovering data: Online, email or on a CD.

● Access - Stored data can be accessed from anywhere in the world, you just need internet access

● Additional PCs - Online backup can be used for as many computers as you wish, and each will be uniquely identified

● Full reporting - Web-based reports

● Time scale - If you delete a file, the latest version is kept for 180 days before being deleted (any version of a file that is more than 90 days old is deleted unless it's the only version we have). If a file has many versions, we will keep the most recent 20 within the 90 days limit.

Top Features

Independent
Works independently of the end-user, avoiding the possibility of forgetting to back up or leaving the tapes in the office.

Secure
Your data is password protected and encrypted to prevent any unauthorised access.
It stays encrypted even in the datacentres and is only decrypted when it's restored onto your computer.

Fast & Efficient
Backups have minimal effect on the user. Files which haven't been modified wouldn't be backed up again and only the changed data within a modified file is transferred. This allows the process to operate as a background activity.

Cost Effective
You don't need to maintain your own hard backup systems, by backing up online you save money not only on equipment but also on staff as well. You may also be able to save money on insurance.

Applications
Ideal for servers, stand alone PCs, and laptops, Europastore is particularly beneficial to home workers or field staff.

To Recover Data
You just need to download the files you want from the web or they can be sent to you by email.
If a full restore is needed and the amount of data is significant then a CDRom can be sent.
