Your backup is your last line of defense and should be one of your first priorities.  You only need to imagine the hardship you would undergo from losing all of your data to know how very important backing up your data is.  We feel that having a good backup system is not enough.  If your system crashes, especially if it is a server, your business could be crippled for days.  With drive imaging, not only is your data backed up, but your entire drive in its current state.  Should you suffer a hard drive crash, or hard drive damage, a new replacement drive can be installed and your entire system can be restored to its former state.  This process can take as little as two hours.  Drive imaging also allows you to recover individual files.  Contact us if you are interested in having one of our technicians set up drive imaging for any of your servers, PC's or Mac's.

In addition to drive imaging, we recommend having an online backup service.  Should you suffer loss by way of theft, fire, or natural disaster, your files are safely stored, and available to you, on securely encrypted servers.

We have reviewed several online backup services and have found IDrive to offer the most features at a very affordable price.  IDrive Pro Personal is our favorite plan.  It offers 150 GB online backup storage space for $4.95/month, or $49.50/year.  Other plans are available.  IDrive supports Windows servers as well as Windows PC's and Mac's.  IDrive supports the backup of mapped and external hard drives - even if your system is logged off.  IDrive retains and allows you to restore the last 30 versions of all files backed up to your account, to any location on your local computer. Better yet, your storage is computed only for the most current version; historical versions are stored free.  You can use IDrive Basic, which stores up to 5GB online, for free, for an unlimited amount of time, and upgrade to IDrive Pro later.  Click on the IDrive icon above for more information.  You can contact us if you would like us to install and configure IDrive for you.
