Backup My Info! Enhances Premium Service Offerings with "Plug-and-Play" Storage Devices for Emergency Data Restores at No Cost

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced a service offering aimed at making it easy for customers to restore their data after a catastrophic system failure. BUMI offers “plug-and-play” storage devices loaded with clients’ encrypted data that can be shipped overnight in order to accelerate the process of restoring. This service, available at no additional cost, can be utilized when an Internet connection is not available or the physical server or location is no longer available.

During a typical data restore, BUMI engineers guide clients through the process which includes retrieving the encrypted data from its data center in Canada through BUMI’s software application. If a large amount of data needs to be immediately restored, BUMI can ship this data overnight in an encrypted and compressed format on a USB storage device which can then be restored rapidly at no charge to the client. Many competitors charge a very large fee for similar offerings. Once the data is shipped to the customer site, BUMI senior engineers remotely connect to assist with recovery procedures.

“During an emergency restore where systems are down and – in certain cases – technology infrastructure may be lost or damaged, the last thing you need to worry about is data loss and business continuity issues,” explained Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “Our all-inclusive service, which consists of shipping a pre-loaded, encrypted storage device to the customer, is part of our mantra to deliver the best service and support – especially after a major system failure or outage.”

“Data backup is essential for any organization – however, restorability provides a true barometer for success,” explained David A. Chapa, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. “It is imperative organizations evaluate their providers ensuring they offer a complete and proven strategy for data restores – not just backup.”

With data protection and reliability a prime concern for all organizations, BUMI has built several layers of security into its online backup solution. Data is encrypted before it leaves a customer site and remains encrypted at all times. Additionally, BUMI’s senior engineers continuously monitor backup processes to ensure customer data is properly safeguarded and proactively follow up if they identify any errors or problems. From a disaster recovery and business continuity perspective, all off-site backups are stored in SAS70 Type II data centers located in Canada.

Founded in 2002, Backup My Info! (BUMI) specializes in delivering online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses. Based in New York City, BUMI provides an off-site data protection solution that addresses critical issues such as rapid growth of data, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.

CRC Clients Receiving the Best of All Backup Worlds: Local Restore, Emergency Virtualization, and Online/offsite Component

(PRWEB) November 17, 2011

Says Robert Gerace, CEO, Backup should be complete, automatic, monitored, have a local restore option, have an online/offsite component, and should be able to restore a server to life in 30 minutes or less by creating a virtual copy of it in case of a failure.

Yet all too often, CRCs new IT clients come from businesses that relied on substandard solutions and either lost data or a great deal of time in attempting to recover from a data catastrophe.

This is not so, and will not ever happen to any of CRCs current IT clients. CRCs solution takes 15 minute snapshots of entire servers, moves that data offsite, allows technicians to restore data without waiting for it to download from the Internet, and allows technicians to bring up an emergency copy of the server in a virtual environment.

Tony Perry, CRCs CTO said, This is the ultimate backup solution. Imagine a company depending on a server to process orders or perform other critical business tasks. In the past, companies would lose that server, and be days without a replacement. No more. Now, in less than 30 minutes they are right back in business taking orders, receiving email, etc. While the virtual copy is running, its still making backups of itself. Once the new (or repaired ) server is available, the solution simply copies the virtual server back to the physical server, and the system is restored to full health without more than 5 minutes of downtime for users.

CRC, Computer Resource Center, LLC was founded in 1989 in Tampa Florida as a software development company for the Consumer Packaged Goods industry. Beginning in 1996, CRC began serving its software in the cloud as a provider of Software as a Service. Since the year 2000, CRC has grown and diversified and become four distinct but synergistic business units. In addition to the SaaS mentioned above, CRC offers other cloud based services such as: IT service/support, Disaster Recovery planning and protection, and hosted applications such as QuickBooks. CRC is headquartered in Cumming, GA and led by Robert Gerace, its CEO.
