Using Offsite Data Backup “More Important Than Ever”

Richard — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:06:50 +0000

In these times of recession you need to ensure that your business makes it through without the added expense of data loss. Times are hard enough without having to battle against data loss, as 43% of companies that experience a severe data loss disaster, and that have no recovery plan in place, never re-open.

Data security is not expensive! Using SequreData’s offsite data backup system costs peanuts compared to losing your data, and ultimately your business.

Restoring your data through backup tapes can be extremely time-comsuming, and backup tapes are prone also to human error more than a digital system.

That’s why we offer a free trial of our backup system - see how easy life can be without the extra tapes, discs and removable hard drives as you store all your data safely online in the UK.

Yesterday I attended my first breakfast networking meeting with the Central London BRX group at The Montague On The Gardens Hotel, to present SeQureData online data backup. This really was a superb opportunity and opened my eyes to the benefit of potential business development through this networking group. I came away with 4 referrals from group members which was a good start for the price of a full English breakfast! www.brxnet.co.uk

SeQureData - Marketing

Talking about SeQureData at e-Marketing Seminar

Richard — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 10:52:32 +0000

SeQureData went along to a FREE e-Marketing seminar arranged by Business Link London www.businesslink.gov. held in Waterloo, London. Entitled ‘The internet beyond your website’ this was a non-technical user friendly workshop for owners and managers of small businesses who want to make use of the internet to market their company. A good mix of around 150 people with varied knowledge and experience in marketing their companies and a great opportunity to network and spread your business cards around at lunch and afterwards!

Topics covered:

The importance of brand and image
Building a CRM database of potential customers
Email and newsletter marketing
Text and SMS advertising
Online advertising - pay per click, sponsored links, banner adverts, Internet news releases and online PR
Social media marketing - blogs, forums, social networking and online reputation management.

The chance to chat to people about SeQureData online backup was an opportunity not to be missed. Very few people knew of online backup so this was a great opportunity especially with new start businesses to put across the benefits of automatic online backup with SeQureData. A couple of businesses were upto speed with this technology having already some knowledge but were concerned that the companies they were using were not storing their data in the UK.

With SeQureData all your data is held in IBM business continuity centres within the UK, and because your data is encrypted (some online backup companies do not offer this essential element) you can be assured that all your data is safe and secure using Attix5, the best backup software available.

Are you still using audio tape cassettes?

Richard — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:58:43 +0000

The chances are you no longer do… The problem always was that they stretch, screw up or break, plus you have to run through the tape to find the track you require! Then along came CD’s and of course they scratch and become unreadable and like tapes you have to have somewhere to store them? Now of course we have iPods and mp3 players which eliminate that hassle.

So it is with backing up your data. Backup tapes are old hat because they too can stretch, screw up and break. That’s just great when your systems crash and you need to recover specific data, but have you ever tried recovering your data from tapes?

So why use tapes and disks when the modern answer is to backup your data online. SeQureData eliminates the need for tapes, disks and external hard drives not to mention transporting them off site as part of your disaster recovery plan. www.sequredata.com backup at your finger tips!
