Why do you need Offsite Secure Backup?
Hard disk failure, Natural Disasters, Fires, Burglaries, Hackers, Insufficient
Disk Storage Capacity, Power Fluctuations and Surges, and Human Error can all
cause permanent loss of your sensitive files.

"I've dealt with two other backup services prior to finally finding
OffsiteSecureBackup.com. I was spending a lot more money per month and
receiving inferior service. I particularly like OSB's quick technical
support response time and their flexible plan features. Thanks!"

Online Backup for Education and Research Institutions
Education and Research
|
|
Schools, further education, higher education and
university research departments are naturally rich in
data. There is administrative, research and curriculum
data being produced and stored on computers on an
increasing basis. A school with one thousand students
can have enormous amounts of data produced by the
students themselves. Even if restricted to say 20MB
each, pupils can generate 20GB of data for a school to
deal with. This is to be added to the less voluminous
yet important administrative data concerning staff,
pupils and school management.
Both further education and higher education
establishments have similar issues to schools, with
higher volumes and often multiple locations to manage.
And the very nature of a university research department
creates knowledge, which is founded in the data stored
on computers.
Confidentiality and security are key demands. For a
school to lose the project work of a pupil would be
disruptive. For a university to lose years of research
work would be a tragedy.
In a similar way to a commercial organisation,
schools and colleges have little time to deal with tape
based backup. There is rarely a dedicated IT person in
smaller schools or colleges and, in larger
establishments, there are too many projects to be
completed to waste time on backup.
A bonus for most education establishments however is
the availability broad band access - often with
capacities exceeding many commercial organisations.
