Today a customer called us at WorldBackups.net to see if we could help them retrieve an email that was deleted over 2 years ago. Their Exchange 2003 server had probably retained the deleted email for 90 days before purging it.

A quick look at the customer’s backup showed they had retained all of their Exchange data on a WorldBackups.net server for over 2 years. This was good news for them, because within a few minutes a WorldBackups Engineer had located the deleted email. We then used Internet Explorer to restore an Outlook PST file back to the customer’s server. Because our servers sit behind 100MB connections, the restore happened in seconds.

The customer then attached the PST to Outlook and found the email they wanted. 2 years on and still working!!

This is a true ‘brick’ email restore in action. Because our software is free to install and run, we only charge for the data you back up.

Not a bad result when you consider the customer’s monthly WorldBackups invoice is under £40.

Only heros can restore!

If you are looking for alternative methods to backup your data, online backups can be a valuable solution. Online backup service providers target small to medium sized businesses that do not have the resources or adequate backup schedules. However, due to any natural calamity or physical damage there is a strong chance that an on-site backup would be destroyed. To avoid risks and protect company data it is recommended to move to online backups.

Most organizations are dependent on their staff to perform backups on a central server located in the office. In most situations the backups are made at regular intervals and copied to CDs or external hard drives. Using an online backup service will enable you to leverage the benefits of disk-to-disk backup avoiding the complexity of hardware or software installation.

In case you have multiple users, frequent data changes, etc you should consider a regular backup to avoid loss of important data. It will be an expensive event to recreate all the data. Hardware can have a long life but human error can create a lot of issues when you have important files. Even after eighty five percent of users are concerned about losing important information due to a number of reason, only one is four regularly creates a backup. In fact, out of every five PCs only two are backed up properly and are able to access their data.

If you sign up with a reliable online backup service provider you can avoid the misfortune of data loss and transfer your files to a safe and secure storage centre.

How can I restore a single email from Exchange?

Using WorldBackups for your online backup solution you have a choice. ‘Do I backup the entire mailstore or just the mailboxes?’

Well..  Do you need to backup the entire mailstore? Only if you think you might lose it! With modern and reliable server hardware, RAID and virtualisation, total server outages are becoming scarcer. But on the increase are employee maliciousness (especially when they leave) and compliance laws governing how long you have to retain your company’s emails for.

With WorldBackups you can restore a single email easily by simply dragging and dropping single emails from a restored PST. Nice and simple, no need to restore and mount an entire mailstore.

So if you have a supplier or customer dispute that can be answered on an email that was deleted by an outgoing member of staff, you can easily get it back from WorldBackups. Don’t forget we allow unlimited data retention, not just 30 days!!!

With of course our unlimited 30 day free trial.

Perhaps because large corporations and organisations have data centres costing millions of pounds, it’s easy to assume that online backups are for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) only.

At WorldBackups, we’ve certainly found that the convenience and security of online backups appeal to SMEs because they provide guaranteed automatic backups and store data safely off-site, but with almost everyone using desktop and laptop PCs, we’re also finding online backups appealing to every size of organisation.

Online backup is naturally attractive to SMEs with limited IT staff and resources because it gives them the high level of security provided by automation (no danger in forgetting a backup), remote storage (vital protection against fire or theft) and the facility to restore data fast (minimal business interruption).

But a report by Forrester (Market Overview: Backup Software-As-A-Service) confirms WorldBackups’ experience that larger organisations are looking to use online backup, not to replace their data centres, but to back up corporate PCs or small servers at remote offices. Enterprises with smaller data capacities could also back up PCs and critical servers.

Many statistics are bandied about regarding the impact of data loss on a business, although so few are referenced, probably because most businesses do not want to talk openly about weaknesses in their processes or how their critical business processes have been affected by losing data.

Ultimately, every business is at risk from data loss.

A business relies on customer data, sales and financial information to thrive and the longer it cannot access these, the greater the threat to its survival. This applies to a sole trader as much as to a partnership, family business or larger enterprise and WorldBackups’ clients come from all these groups.

Online backup can provide the same reassurance and security to every size of business in every sector that uses one or more PCs or laptops.

How many businesses don’t use a PC?

It all depends!!

Let’s look at tapes.

You can password protect your backups with most third party backup applications, but most Sys Admins don’t because they feel safe with the tape in their hand, and they think ‘what if I forget the password when I have to restore a server?’

OK, so backup tapes will never fall into the wrong hands. What are the wrong hands? External criminals or internal nuisances trying to look at the wages spreadsheet? Is the new guy tasked with taking the tapes off-site just because he’s new, or because no one else wants the hassle? Does he then leave the odd tape at home or in his car? Would you be as easy going if your company’s data was floating around unencrypted on DVDs or USB sticks?

Do tapes always work? Are the backup logs checked every day? Do you perform test restores? What happens during holidays and weekends?

How many versions can you keep of your data? Online backups from WorldBackups.net will store your revisions for as long as you want.

Now let’s answer myths about online backups (open mind time!)

With online backups from WorldBackups.net you don’t have to worry about tapes or whether or not they are being changed every day.

You can run jobs during the day knowing you don’t have to be around to change tapes for the nightly backup.

You don’t need the outlay of tapes, tape drives or software. A typical small biz solution for 10 users with 50GB of data would cost approx. £1,500 to £2,000 for the software, drive and 30 tapes. We charge 90p to back up 1GB of data. A normal 50GB backup would compress to approx. 20GB, that’s less than £20 a month. Plus you won’t ever have to upgrade your backup solution again (price comparisons calculated in July 2009).

All WorldBackups.net backups can be encrypted (not even we can read your data without the password). Safe to say neither can anyone else who shouldn’t be able to.

Your data will be stored on a minimum of three different systems once a backup has completed.

We backup all versions of Windows, Exchange and SQL, pretty much everything in the Microsoft world.

Are online backups as secure and flexible as tape backups?

Only you can tell what is right for your business. Remember we offer an unlimited 30 day free trial, so you can answer your own concerns.
