Advantech's Remote Data Backup service works like regular data backup, but with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer it is backing up, our software sends the backup over the Internet, to our online backup server, safely offsite. It is completely automatic on our clients’ end. 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 Remote Data Backup solution accomplishes several essential steps that are often overlooked or done improperly by other backup software.

1. Online Backups are done on schedule, reliably - Most businesses don’t do this. For
   one reason or another, they don’t keep a regular backup regimen. 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.
2. The correct files are backed up - Ordinary backup software is often installed with
   a list of files to be backed up. This set of files usually represents the state of the
   system when the software was installed, and often misses critical files. Further, it
   often fails to back up files that get added later. Compounding this problem, VERY
   few businesses take the trouble to reset their backup software regularly to include
   new files.
3. Backups are encrypted for complete security - Tape backups are not generally
   encrypted, so anyone can read them and gain access to client database, billing records,
   payroll, tax info, and everything else on computers. Advantech's software encrypts
   its backups using your choice of eight of the strongest cryptographic methods in the
   world for complete security so nobody can read the files.
4. Backups are immediately sent offsite and stored safely away from the clients'
   computers and their businesses - This is where almost every business makes its
   biggest mistake. Even if they do everything else perfectly, backups are of little use if
   their building burns, or they are unable to physically recover their tapes from the
   premises. Most small companies who do backups leave the tapes in the building with
   the computer. Of course, you can see that this would be a problem in a fire or flood
   or an earthquake. Even businesses that do backups and have good, undamaged tapes have to shut down. Many go out of business simply because they don't have access to their data. Advantech solves this problem by automatically storing this valuable data at a different site.
   

So, a business can be back up and running with new computers and their latest data no matter what catastrophe happens. We offer 24 hour support for all issues.
