1 You backup strategy is to burn CDs and DVDs.
A diamond may be forever, but CDs and DVDs have a shelf-life. Even the Optical Storage Technology Association says an unrecorded disk will only last 5 to 10 years. And this assumes you’ve selected the right files and remember to do it, which brings me to reasons #2 and #3.

2Your backup strategy requires picking which files to backup.
If you’re like most people, you actually have no idea where your files are. Wait, you’re not like most people – you absolutely select which folders you put your files in. But some applications save files in random places. Have any idea where your iTunes playlists are? Hint: They’re not in My Documents. Windows hides folders. Vista forces older applications into a hidden sandbox. You probably know where most of your files are…but some files your care about are almost certainly somewhere else.

We have saved four customers so far this year.  With our backup service, they restored data that would have been lost forever.  Most were back up in less than 24 hours.

ELPBack now keeps spare servers and workstations on hand to loan to our backup customers if your equipment goes down. If your key network component goes down, we can bring to your site a loaner server with your latest backups restored. This new service will allow you to continue to operate in the event of a crisis.    

                ELPBack can also restore your data to one of our terminal servers. A terminal server is a server we manage at our data center. It’s just like your server, except you access it remotely. ELPBack can restore your server or workstation data to one of our terminal servers, giving you quick access to your data remotely. This will allow you to keep working.

(Expectations apply: loaner system availability is limited. Setup fees and weekly loaner fees may apply. Loaner systems available only for customers in the ELPTech service area. Other nationwide ELPBack customers will need to use our terminal servers.)
