Data Backup: The Options are Growing

When it comes to solutions to backup your data, there are so many options available to you. Today, Verio announced that it is launching a PC Data Backup service through viaVerio business partners.

Although backup has been preached over and over again my many of us in the media, small businesses still do not backup their data like they should.

According to Verio's press release, Verio's PC Data Backup service includes a simple user interface and enables users to back up PC laptops and desktops and to view backups as they occur via the installed application. Ideal for solution providers that serve businesses with limited IT resources, the solution is a cost-effective way to ensure data is always secure and restored on Verio's systems. The service can be initiated with a fast and easy client-agent setup that customers download, and includes 24x7 management, as well as Verio's round-the-clock customer support.

PC based services from HP, FarStone Technology's, Dantz, Maxtorand dozens of others are options as well. Backing up your PC and server to a CD, tape drive or external hard drive ensures that your data is close at hand if you need it.

However, if your entire office building, home or town is in trouble, due to some catastrophe you'll want to ensure that your data is out of the trouble zone. This is where online backup is handy. Carbonite, eVault, Backupmyinfo and other services come in handy.
