Backup system

Online backup (also called Cloud), is a system that stores your files on network servers. This way you can access your data anywhere at any time and reduce IT costs for the company.

Of course, the online servers where your documents are stored are secure.

There are many online backup providers and whose offers often depend

on storage size,

type of use or multiplicity

of channels used.

How to choose ?

Every supplier is different !

Indeed many cloud providers initially offered services to private user only, so that the offers do not correspond to company needs.

There are some market standards, but many companies do not apply them.

The development of Clouds resulted in many similar offers that all look similar. The price is often perceived as a quality mark but this does not necessarily reflect the reality.

Advice

Advice Security of your data must be ensured !

Choose a provider that offers only backup products.

Inform yourself about the company’s:

• Activities

• Previous failures

• Assistance

• What insurance do they provide if

a problem occurs?

• Credibilty

Personal Example I use Mozy services as a professional and in private

Mozy is : • An optimal and operational service since 2005

• Simple and smart to use • A product that applies the ISO 27001 standard (for data

security) • Described as military protection (double data encryption

and personal password) • Offering IT support

• Good value for money • Used and recognized by renown companies like LVMH, Ford

etc.
