Our system works basically like regular backup software, with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media, it sends the backup to our computer safely offsite. Most businesses put their lives on the line every night and don’t realize it. With businesses depending more and more on the data stored in their computers, proper backups are becoming much more critical.

Our backups are done on schedule, reliably.  Most businesses don’t do this. For one reason or another, they don’t keep a regular backup procedure. Usually it’s because the person responsible for doing backups (if there is one) is too busy doing something else, or someone is using the computer when it’s time for a backup, or they simply forget. Since our system is automated, backups are always done on schedule and our process is constantly reevaluating your computer system, adding files to the backup as needed. 

Our solution keeps multiple copies of the same files at different points in their development, called versions. As an example, you should have a different copy of each backed-up file for each backup session. Further, you should be able to easily restore any of your files up to any given point in time. Banks do it, big corporations do it, and so should small businesses. Only our system has such an easy to use version control system.

Our backups are encrypted for complete security. Would you want someone to be able to slip one of your backup tapes into a pocket and take it to your competitor? It happens all the time. Tape backups are not generally encrypted, so anyone can read them and gain access to your client database, billing records, payroll, tax info, and everything else on your computer. At R & D Data Services we encrypt the backups for complete security so we can't  even read your files.

Remote Backup solves this problem by automatically storing this valuable data at more than one site. So, a business can be back up and running with new computers and their latest data no matter what catastrophe happens.
