Comments on: Backing Up IS Security AND Insurance http://www.spinningsilkmultimedia.com/backup-is-security-and-insurance/ Thoughts on using various forms of media in a harmonious way to grow your business and personal goals Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:43:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Patrick Greer http://www.spinningsilkmultimedia.com/backup-is-security-and-insurance/comment-page-1/#comment-8872 Patrick Greer Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:37:17 +0000 http://www.spinningsilkmultimedia.com/backup-is-security-and-insurance/#comment-8872 Thanks for sharing your experience. You are correct in the fact that remote backups are the very best option. Thanks also for sharing an addition resource people can go to. The rates look very affordable. As I have said just about any backup solution you find is a deal compared to any potential loss! I of course perform incremental backups for those "opps" moments and clone type backups in case my primary hard drive fails and I need to continue my daily workflow. Another thing I do suggest is if one does have local backups they need to be stored in a fire box if one is away for a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for sharing your experience.

That's why online backup services are a compelling offering for business backup. Not only is your data backed up automatically, but it is also safely stored in a remote location. You can forget fiddling about with tape drives and concentrate on running your business. A fire in our office recently caused us to lose several PCs. Fortunately, we subscribe to the Angel Backup online backup service - http://www.angelbackup.com - so restoring our data was quick and painless.
