> backup safeguard your data

Your data is irreplaceable, and as such it's safekeeping is one of the most important aspects of your IT infrastructure. No matter how thorough your preparation and planning, if a backup fails it will cost you greatly - in time and lost business as well as money. Don't leave yourself vulnerable to data loss.

Synthesis IT can help by offering advice as to which backup systems suit your business needs best. Essentially there are 2 distinct types of backup:


> onsite backup physical and/or removable media

Usually controlled by automated software that can be remotely monitored as part of our integrated and managed support service, this traditional type of backup is still the favoured method of backup protection for businesses large and small. Usually utilising magnetic tapes, removeable drives or other similar re-writeable media, this system allows the client to manage their own rotational data library and gives the user the comfort of knowing the backup is safe and in a tangible form.


> offsite backup service

This system can help ensure that you're covered for business continuity, disaster recovery and data archiving. With offsite backup, your vital files and data are backed up by systems automatically over an internet connection, and stored in a data centre away from your organisation. You still have access to your backups, but you no longer have to worry about forgetting them or - worse still - their potential failure.
