Most of us don’t give much thought to the data we store on our computers until something breaks and we lose it. When that happens it’s too late. If all your important data is stored on your laptop or desktop computer, think about what impact it would have if it was lost.
There are a number of ways to ensure the integrity of your data. Backing up regularly to an external hard drive is a cheap and easy way to do it. Another option is to backup essential files and data to secure online storage.
Cloudwide Backup
Another more tailored option is Cloudwide Backup. This service provides a dedicated resource solely for the purpose of backing up data into the cloud. Using this service provides the benefit of storing data ‘off-site’, so that in the event of a disaster or theft that may see local hardware destroyed or stolen, your data is still safe.
Cloudwide Backup can be used to backup data for individuals or an entire server. All that is required is a subscription to Cloudwide Backup and the installation of the backup software on the computer or server that is to be backed up. This program will work on Windows, Mac or Linux. 8bits provide it via a download and is easily installed and configured within minutes.
Once the software is installed, you can just drag and drop files from your computer straight into whatever folder structure you create on the backup server. (It works like a local drive on your computer.) The system can be set so that when Cloudwide Backup is launched it will automatically synchronise any changes in the the data you have backed up.
The service can be configured for both individuals and workgroups.
The pricing structure for Cloudwide Backup consists of a monthly subscription fee and storage costs. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Your data is then accessible from any computer or mobile device you authorise.
