Managed Backups

Preventing data loss, corruption, and disclosure of sensitive information from unauthorized access, a server crash, human error or a natural disaster is critical to the long term success and staying power of any business.

Implementing a data backup system that guarantees the full recovery of all data can mean the difference between seamless business continuity and complete paralysis of all essential business operations in the face of an unforeseen data loss emergency. However, it is not enough to simply implement an effective backup system – the backup system must be continuously monitored to ensure all data is successfully backed up as scheduled. Because of the time and capital expense involved with monitoring a backup system in-house, more and more business decision-makers are opting for a managed backup solution, outsourcing the management of their backup system to a company with special expertise in data backup and allocating in-house resources where they can be used more efficiently.

Managed data backup systems are convenient data storage solutions that enable businesses to simply and securely store all critical data while spending less capital and administration time dealing with the implementation and management of the backup system. With a managed backup system, a third party provider continuously monitors the system to ensure successful backups are completed as scheduled. Because a managed backup system requires that you entrust your company’s most valuable asset to a third party, it imperative you choose a managed backup service provider with an impeccable professional reputation and extensive experience in data backup system management. DRSA’s is a leader in managed backup, offers a highly effective online managed data backup service that utilizes multiple layers of security not only to protect the integrity and immediate availability of your company’s important data, but also to ensure the seamless performance of your backup system.
