Off Site Back Up Applications
Add in the issue of firewalls blocking uploads on particular ports and it can easily become a headache that is actual IT. Your best option will be to use well-known brands for example Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, Sony or Mitsui Gold DVD.

As good as computers are these days, it's inevitable that at some point - they will give you some grief! While there are many courses of action you can take that will minimise the damage done during some sort of computer failure (such as backing up all your data) - there may come a day where you have to place your PC in the hands of an expert.

Another popular option includes external hard drives. The benefit of these is that they are relatively quick to write to, and can be up to 500GB in size and are highly portable and efficient as a means of data storage.

Here are our suggestions to protect your data and files and photos which are important to you. We suggest that you purchase an external hard drive, which you can connect right to your USB port. Or you can look into using an data backup companies service; even can use a key drive.

Make sure that the system is capable of backing up any file size or type. Don't get caught out by thinking you don't need much storage or the ability to save certain types of files.

The online data back is more viable option for situations like having stuck by a disaster that took a whole area where in you might have had the back drives also gone. But with online back up, you files are safe somewhere far away from your location. Whenever you need them you will get it back with a couple of clicks.

Don't rely on a system that only has one copy. Make sure that it has several copies stored on at least 2, preferably 3, off-site computers. Think virus! If your system is hit with a virus you can then go back to a file before the virus took a hold.

In addition, you save yourself time by not needing to track what files have to be backed up. That way in the worst of calamities you'll still possess the data you need to actually function as a company.
