Backup and Disaster Recovery Service

We are proud to introduce WestNet's newest service: Remote Backup and Disaster Recovery. By using our custom backup program, your computer can automatically backup your files at any time of day, over any Internet connection, to a storage server in our data center. Traditional tape based backups have several problems. In order to be effective, even if you schedule the backup automatically, you have to remember to change tapes, If you don't -- your latest data is not backed up. Also, if you want to protect against the unthinkable, such as a fire at your primary location, you have to keep rotating a copy of your data off-site. WestNet's backup service automates this whole process. By backing up over the Internet, your data can always be up to date, and always protected in a remote location. For security, your data is encrypted before it is ever transfered from your machine. Even if someone were to physically steal our server, your data would be of no use to them without your secure encryption key. WestNet has a number of service levels, for both the individual needing to backup some important files (Quicken data, documents, etc), to the business user with one or more file servers. If one of the plans on the right doesn't meet your needs, we can tailor something individually for you. For small to mid-sized offices, backups should be one part of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. You will need to have computer hardware to use if your primary location is unavailable, copies of the installation disks for your applications, to install on your temporary machine. WestNet can work with you to develop a complete disaster recovery plan on a consulting basis. The complete manual for our backup application is available online. For more information or a 30 day trial of the backup service, please email staff@westnet.com.
