New Faster Data availability

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

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.)
