Offsite data backup refers to the act of storing important files and folders from your computer on to a remote server using an internet connection. This is usually done to avoid loss of data due to manmade or natural catastrophes.
Imagine a deadly virus, a fire, or a hard drive crash. All those important data and files which have literally made your business and life go smoothly, just suddenly vanish. With offsite data backup, this fear can be virtually eliminated.
Once you have subscribed to an offline data backup company, the data will appear to have been stored just like it would be on a folder, in your computer. However, it will only be available once you have a secure internet connection. Most of the businesses in the UK and abroad are pretty sure about the need to protect their important documents in a secure way. Offsite data backup is fast, secure and a much easier method of backing up data than the regular tape or hard drive backup.
Offsite data backup can be controlled manually by you. That is, you can decide for yourself what of your data you want securely protected from any disaster. You can also decide how often you want this done. Most offline data backup companies however, also have an option of automatic backup wherein all your new files are backed up on a daily basis in an encrypted format, even without you having to prompt them.
