Protect Your Most Valuable Asset!

Don’t let data loss ruin your business or franchise in 2004. The most cost effective and secure way is to automatically web backup your critical data offsite with an online data backup service called Remote Data Backups. For less than $1 a day, you can web backup up to 10 GB of your mission critical data securely offsite to two mirrored data centers every night, without having to physically do it yourself using a tape, Zip or CD-RW drive. No hardware or human assistance is required, just an Internet connection (it even works with 56K dial-up modems) and the online backup software Remote Data Backups available at (www.remotedatabackups.com). They use 128-Bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to transmit and store your data, so it is extremely secure.

Just because you have a backup system in place does not necessarily mean that you are properly backing up your data. If your data backups go away with the very computer it was meant to back up, then you will have wasted every dollar and very minute you have ever spent on data backups. Having your critical business data backed up every night offsite at two secure data centers is considerably better than just having one of your employees (our yourself) take it home in their purse or glove compartment from time to time. Losing even a week of data can be devastating to any business and can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

A secure online data backup service like (www.remotedatabackups.com) takes all the guesswork out of web data backup. Their online backup service is easy to set up and easy to use. The cost of proactively protecting your data with a remote data backup solution is far cheaper than having to recover or recreate your data any day.

Their monthly rates are:

1) $9.95 / mo for 100 MB
2) $19.95 / mo for 4 GB
3) $29.95 / mo for 10 GB
4) $99.95 / mo for 30 GB
