Protravel International Continues to Utilize Backup My Info! to Backup and Restore Critical Data for their Corporate Servers and Remote Workforce

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 28, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced that Protravel International, Inc. continues to utilize BUMI for its off-site data backup and disaster recovery needs. Protravel is a full service, dynamic retail travel company with annual sales of nearly $ 700 million. With 780 employees spread throughout 24 worldwide locations serving a diverse client base, Protravel needed a backup solution that would safeguard its critical data and protect against a disaster recovery situation.

In the past, Protravel used a standard tape backup system to safeguard data across 13 servers. According to Lou Moran, Chief Technology Officer at Protravel, the daily backup processes were time-consuming, difficult to administer and could not be trusted.

“I wasn’t even sure if the tape system was working, and if the backups would be there if we needed to restore,” explained Moran. “With data backups, you cannot leave anything for chance, so we decided to replace our tape-based system with a hosted service. We identified several hosted backup options, and quickly realized that BUMI was best suited to support our enterprise needs. Additionally, their emphasis on service and support provided an added level of comfort knowing that if, or when, we ever need to restore data, they are well-positioned to guide us through the process quickly.”

Protravel is using BUMI to backup data of local Microsoft applications including SQL, Office, SharePoint, and Active Directory, as well as their Web servers. In addition, Protravel utilizes BUMI to manage remote desktops and laptops, which are scheduled to run at specific intervals. If any of the servers, desktops or laptops experience backup errors, BUMI’s senior-level technicians immediately notify Moran’s team.

“When I first started using the BUMI service, I was immediately impressed with how transparent it is to our day-to-day operations,” said Moran. “In addition, BUMI’s proactive monitoring of backups – as well as the professional and friendly customer service we receive – have been added bonuses for us. We’re not BUMI’s largest client, but you would never know that from the attention to detail we receive. I want all my vendors to treat us like we are that important – and that’s exactly what BUMI does with every interaction with them.”

“Aside from providing best-in-class technology and processes, it is important for our team to learn about the nuances of each client’s data so they are in the best position to backup and restore it,” said Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “For Protravel, we understand the urgency of backing up their business-critical data and constantly work with them to ensure it is always safe and accessible.”

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.

New York-based Document and Records Storage Company Entrusts Backup My Info! for Off-Site Backup and Disaster Recovery

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 14, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced that CitiStorage – a document and records storage company – continues to utilize BUMI for its off-site backup and disaster recovery needs. Headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, CitiStorage provides its clients with dependable and cost-efficient records management solutions.

Prior to BUMI, CitiStorage relied on a tape system to backup its own data. However, when a major server failed at the company and they needed to retrieve critical data, CitiStorage discovered that its tape system was not consistently producing viable backups. With more than four million boxes tracked, and 20 million barcoded files, this could have been a disaster for a company whose database changes every minute.

“This near crisis proved to us that we needed redundancy in our own data retention system, and we needed a more secure way of backing up our mission-critical information,” said Louis Weiner, President of CitiStorage. “We selected Backup My Info! to safeguard our business critical information. It is essential for us to know exactly what records we have and where all files are – at all times.”

Within weeks of selecting BUMI, the company was backing up all of CitiStorage’s critical business data from six servers – including application software, records management data, accounting data, email, and everyday business files. Mr. Weiner feels secure knowing that BUMI is watching the backup process each day. His team receives a daily email verifying the backup status and a phone call anytime a backup did not run correctly. They also receive a monthly update to confirm that the right data is being backed up.

“After deciding to implement a new backup service, most of the companies we spoke with only sold software solutions, leaving us on our own to manage the entire process,” said Mr. Weiner. “But BUMI impressed us from the beginning and made us feel extremely comfortable with their secure online backup process. They also made us feel like we were their only client, and that is the type of customer service that you rarely see these days.”

“For an organization such as CitiStorage – which manages so much data that changes on a daily basis – it is essential to have a backup process that is actively monitored,” said Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “Because CitiStorage had been through a disaster recovery situation in the past, we wanted to make sure they felt 100 percent safe, secure and confident with our service. We understand that restoring data is critical to every business, and we want our customers to know they are our number one priority.”

BUMI takes a proactive approach to customer service, anticipating issues, devising courses of action and communicating that back to us promptly and in a language we understand.

In order to redeem the two months of data backup services, program participants must verify their status as a former Iron Mountain customer, and are required to sign a 12-month agreement. Prior to contractual agreement, BUMI will offer free consultations and an audit of current systems.

Partners select BUMI in order to provide a best-in-class solution for their clients requiring a premium disaster recovery and business continuity solution for important company data.

O’Rourke, founder and principal of Syzygy 3, a New York-based technical consulting firm. Backup My Info! (BUMI) was the best solution we found.

Non-Profit Organizations Safeguard Critical Data with Backup My Info!

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 21, 2011

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premium provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced continued strong demand for its online data backup and recovery service within the non-profit sector. Non-profits are increasingly leveraging BUMI as a trusted partner to proactively manage and secure their business-critical data as well as membership and fundraising databases which are the lifeblood of any charitable organization.

One such organization leveraging BUMIs data backup and recovery expertise is Japan Society, an American non-profit which fosters understanding and relationships between Japan and the United States. Prior to deploying BUMI, the non-profit used a flawed data backup and recovery service that would only restore data by an entire day not specifically by sender or subject. For an organization heavily reliant on email, it was not an ideal solution.

“When we started using BUMI, the difference was immediately apparent,” said Larry Kong, IT Director at Japan Society. “You can use any company to backup data. The key question is how quickly can you restore it? With BUMI, if we lose something, even a single email or calendar entry, we can retrieve it quickly and easily.

Supporting all major operating systems, BUMI provides an automated off-site data backup and recovery service. With data protection and reliability a prime concern for all types of organizations, BUMI has built several layers of security into its online backup solution. Data is encrypted at the point it leaves a customer site and remains encrypted at all times. From a disaster recovery and business continuity perspective, all off-site backups are stored in SAS70 Type II data centers located in Canada.

Faced with reduced financial support coupled with a growing demand for services, non-profit organizations operate in an increasingly competitive environment while pursuing their charitable passions, said Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. We are proud to work with a number of non-profits and serve as a virtual extension of their IT departments which can oftentimes be stretched and focused on many other tasks. Our secure, off-site data backup and restore service is complemented by our full-time engineers who continuously monitor data backup processes to ensure customer data is properly safeguarded and proactively follow up if they identify any errors or problems.

In addition to Japan Society, BUMI is working with many other non-profit organizations such as The Neuropathy Association, New York County Medical Society, The Boys’ Club of New York, and more.
