Backups

Small businesses need a simple plan to help solve storage and backup challenges for today and tomorrow. To achieve this, they must first understand their storage and backup needs. Then they need to manage their data. Finally, these businesses must help protect their electronic files using backup and archival systems. As we have discovered, there are still plenty of small companies that do not have storage or backup systems, which can be life threatening to business. Telefonix Voice & Data offer a fully managed backup service, taking this worry off your hands to ensure that your data is always there when you need it.

Other companies use a variety of devices ranging from external CD drives to external hard drives. Realistically, storage and backup systems should archive data off-site and online. If a fire destroys your office PC, it will also likely destroy any external drive or tape sitting nearby. As part of our policy of looking after all our customer IT needs, Telefonix Voice & Data has teamed up with a leading backup provider to look after the backup up of our customer's data:

How We Manage Your Backups

• The backup software agent is installed onto the server/s needing protection by our staff
• A backup policy is set for each server being protected, where specific file types, databases and folders that need to be backed up are selected in consultation with the customer. This can often be "all files"
• A backup schedule for each machine is then defined i.e. how often and when the backups take place
• Backups take place without staff schedules or workflow being interrupted in any manner
• Data being backed up is automatically compressed and encrypted using 128-bit AES encryption levels
• Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, data is transferred over the Internet to a world-class IBM data centre
• The data is then mirrored to a second data centre in a separate location for failover capacity

How We Recover Your Data

• When backed up data needs to be recovered, Telefonix Voice & Data staff open the software
• From here, the multiple file versions of the backed up data on the account can be seen stored within the data vaults
• Either the user or Telefonix Voice & Data selects the files/databases needed for retrieval
• In encrypted form, the backed up data is sent back over the Internet to the defined server
• Upon retrieval, data is unencrypted using installed encryption keys
• Data has been retrieved and original files restored.

Our backup services are delivered as a subscription service. Because it is hardware free for the end-user, the costs of the service are reduced and charged as a simple monthly fee on the amount of data stored. The cost of protecting your critical business data becomes more transparent and easier to budget for.
