Computer backup services are tools or services that allow you to create copies of your important data and files, typically stored on your computer or other devices, and store those copies in a separate location. This is done to ensure that your data remains safe and can be restored in case of data loss due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, malware, or other unforeseen events.
There are several types of computer backup services:
Local Backup: This is using our services to setup and configure your backup to one or multiple external USB drives for secure data backup and offsite security.
Local Backup Software: This involves using software to back up your data to an external storage device, such as an external hard drive or a network-attached storage (NAS) device.
Cloud Backup Services: These services allow you to back up your data to remote servers hosted by the service provider. Examples of well-known cloud backup services include:
Backblaze: Offers unlimited backup for a single computer.
Carbonite: Provides automatic and continuous backup.
Acronis True Image: Combines backup with robust cybersecurity features.
IDrive: Offers versatile backup options and syncing across devices.
Time Machine (for Mac): Built-in backup software that comes with macOS.
Windows Backup and Restore (for Windows 7): Older Windows version's built-in backup tool.
Third-party software like Macrium Reflect, EaseUS Todo Backup: Offers advanced features for local backup.
Hybrid Backup Services: These combine both cloud and local backup options, giving you the flexibility of both approaches for added data redundancy.
Online Cloud Storage Services: While not strictly backup services, online storage platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive allow you to store files in the cloud, and they often have version history features that can help recover previous versions of files.
Key features to consider when choosing a backup service include:
Automatic Backup: The ability to schedule automatic backups to ensure your data is always up to date.
File Versioning: The capability to store multiple versions of files, which can be useful if you need to restore an older version.
Data Encryption: Ensuring your data is encrypted both during transmission and while stored on servers.
Data Restoration: A user-friendly process for restoring your data when needed.
Scalability: The option to expand storage as your data needs grow.
Compatibility: Support for the operating systems and devices you use.
Price: Subscription cost and available storage space.
Remember that the choice of a backup service depends on your specific needs, budget, and the value of the data you want to protect.
It's also recommended to have a multi-tiered backup strategy, combining both local and off-site (cloud) backups, to ensure the highest level of data protection.
Restore old versions up to 30 days or forever.

When is the last time you completed an assessment of your backup environment?
Hackers are now focused on attacking your backup environments as our priority. They are now more sophisticated and experienced with our enterprise environment attacks. In recent months hackers have been performing ransomware attacks, completing targeted campaigns on backup environments. IT leaders often turn to our Local Secure backup solutions to restore our data as a last line of defense. Your backup data protection environment is now becoming the initial target of these daily attacks.
Instead of going straight for the crown jewels (Your primary environments), hackers are now disarming users, then destroy the backup environment to remove your safety net, and then go after your primary environments before demanding a ransom or threatening leak of confidential information or personal data causing embarrassment if payment isn’t received. In response to this, we have developed our robust 21-point security assessment for local based backup environments.
