Offsite Backup

Web based backup is a method of offsite data storage where files, folders, or the entire contents of your hard drive are regularly backed up to a remote server or computer using your internet connection. You can configure and customise scheduled backups to secure your data against disaster or hardware failure. Web based backup is a simple process. By frequently backing up your data onto a remote
hard drive, you can eliminate the risk of catastrophic data loss as a result of disaster.

Backup is scheduled to happen automatically so long as your PC is on. Your PC contacts the server at Matrix Solutions' secure data centre and determines what data needs to be backed up. All data is encrypted with 448 bit Blowfish technology - so data transfer and file storage is secure and private.

Some of the advantages of using Web Based Backup Services:

• Automated Backup and Restore.
• Open File agent available for Business and Server backups.
• Encrypted data transfers across the web and encrypted storage.
• Data Recovery CD's available.
• Onsite or telephone installation.
• Ongoing telephone support.
• Backup versions and file retention.
• Hosted at the latest in high technology secure data centre
