Computer Protection Insurance for Your Business

09 June, 2009 18:05


This blog provides information about the value of backing up, the dangers of tape backup drives proving unreliable, and the need to consider the recovery speed of any business continuity plan before it's put into place.  The backup and recovery options you choose are as important as any business insurance you may have – perhaps even more important.

An insurance policy is there to protect you against loss, but in truth it doesn't do that.  What insurance does is help you recover from the loss by providing the money you need when the worst happens.  Remote Vault Pro Enterprise can often do more than that for your computer data – instead of helping you rebuild what you've lost, it can prevent you from losing it in the first place.  Emails that you've been saving for months or years, sensitive information about competition and clients, and vital financial data can't be recreated from scratch, but they can be recovered – in as little as fifteen minutes – from the Remote Vault Pro hardware.  It doesn't require a degree in computer science or a call to a support line in another time zone, either – our Hudson Valley technicians will probably know about the problem before you do.

Disasters can destroy an entire business location, but even that doesn't mean all the computer records are gone.  Since RVPE backs all your data up to two remote locations, one of those backups can be overnighted to your new location as soon as you're ready to accept it.  The unit will function as a virtualized server, permitting you to run all of your programs and access all of your information, until a new server can be set up.  No business owner likes to think about the possibility of being hit by a serious disaster like an earthquake, hurricane, fire or flood.  However, if losing a building is a nightmare, surely losing all the information that drives your business would be far worse.
