First Backup uses the latest cloud technology to backup your data.
Cloud Backup
Previously, a company would back up their data onto individual floppy disks, cds, or expensive tape systems. These types of data backup are no longer realistically viable for several reasons. First, they generally don’t store a significant amount of data, and certainly don’t meet the storage size needs of most companies. Second, they require a lot of user interaction in order to complete a backup. Physically changing disks, remembering to do the backup in the first place, making sure that all files are backed up, finding physical storage for all of these backed up data sources, remembering to remove backed up data at the end of the day in case of an on-site disaster, etc. Every step of the way is a source for human error that will ensure that your data is not backed up.
It’s no wonder that nearly 70% of all enterprises are considering turning to cloud backup in the next 12-18 months.
Easy to set up, use and manage
In contrast to other types of backup, cloud backup is easy to set up, use, and manage. After a short, initial installation and set-up, the system basically runs itself. While one works, First Backup operates silently in the background. The user doesn’t need any special hardware or systems. They don´t need to perform any special daily tasks. All they need is a connection to the internet. It really is that simple.
The backup is taken at the same time (or multiple times) every day, at an interval convenient for the user. The data is encrypted, compressed and sent via the internet to a remote location where it is safe, and easily recovered. All of this happens without the user having to manually do anything. They can just continue with their work.
First Backup also features an advanced Continuous Data Protection (CDP) technology which captures every version of a file that has been saved to the hard drive in real-time. With CDP, even if a hard drive crashes completely after one has worked for a full day without invoking backup manually oneself, the saved copy of the working files will still be intact on the backup server. It provides a highly dependable means of real-time, continuous data protection for servers, desktops, and laptops effortlessly and transparently, without any human intervention.
