Most small businesses put their lives on the line every night and don't even realise it.
With businesses depending more and more on the data stored in their computer, proper backups are
becoming much more critical. Remote backups accomplish several essential steps that are often overlooked
or done improperly by other backup software ' especially non-automated tape backup systems.
Remote Backup works basically like regular tape backups, with one important difference. Instead of
sending backups to a tape or zip drive attached to the computer, Remote Backup works by compressing and
encrypting our clients data, sending the data securely over the internet to our off–site data
center managed by Crosby. It does this (usually) at night while the business is closed and nobody is #
using the computer. It's completely automatic.
Our Remote Backup encrypts our clients data prior to transmission to our offsite backup server.
Military–grade encryption technology and a user–defined password (encryption key) ensure
that nobody, including employees of JPS or Crosby Communications (Our IT partner), can access your data.
Compare this to the total lack of security on most tape and zip drive systems that other accountants
employ.
Encryption is basically a mathematical formula that is used to scramble a data file. The
only way to unscramble the file is with the program used to encrypt it.
