Backing up your servers is one of the most critical measures you can take to protect your business, yet ensuring that error-free backups occur regularly is daunting for even the most savvy IT departments. When you add to this the need to store the information offsite for redundancy and keep track of incremental versus full backup sessions, it is no wonder more and more companies are turning to IT experts, like Globix, to handle backups.

Through a consistent disk and tape-based backup strategy, we help companies mitigate the risk of malicious behavior and natural disasters. This simple, flexible, and cost-effective recovery storage system can schedule full or incremental backup processes quickly. In addition, after holding critical business information on-site for two months, information can be transferred to tape and moved off-site for added security and resilience.

Using the latest backup and archiving technologies, we provide two backup solutions, both of which are designed to get you up and running quickly.

Disk Backup

For those businesses with a large volume or constantly changing data, or those with little downtime, disk backup is right for you.

Tape Backup

If your servers are quiet at the same time every day, or if you have a small amount of data, or if redundant offsite data backup storage is important to you, tape backup is right for you.

• Responsive — Our 24×7 response team is prepared to quickly react to any situation, including data recovery, scheduled backups, or a troubleshooting issue.
• Comprehensive — Planned and scheduled backups cover all areas of operating system, system state, file system types, hot database backups, MS Exchange modules, and clustered networks.
• Flexible — Choose when and how often you want to backup your data as well as the medium chosen to store the data. Both disk and tape-based backups are available. Moving data from disk to tape is also an option.
• Informative — Daily emails detailing the statistics regarding your backups such as backup amounts and backup results are provided to you.
• Tailored — We offer various plans to choose from for onsite and offsite data storage; choose from monthly, weekly, or daily backups with full or incremental schedules.
• Secure — All of our backup equipment is located in our highly secure data center.

Storage Options

• Disk Backup — We utilize fully redundant disk arrays and house them in our highly secure data centers. Offsite storage is available by combining periodic tape backup with disk backup. The tapes can then be shipped offsite for added security and resilience.
• Tape Backup — Utilizing the latest backup and archiving technologies, we provide onsite and offsite tape backup and storage.
