			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Let’s look at tapes and what can go wrong.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">1. You can password protect your backups with most third party backup applications. Most SYS Admins however choose not to because they see no reason to do so or they are worried they might forget the password.</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">2. 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?</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">3. Is the right person tasked with taking the backup tapes off-site? Is the odd tape left at home or in his car? Would you be as easy going if your company’s data was floating around on unencrypted DVDs or USB sticks?</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">4. Do tapes always work? Are the backup logs checked every day? Do you perform test restores? What happens during holidays and weekends?</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">5. How many versions can you keep of your data? Online backups from WorldBackups.net will store your revisions for as long as you want.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Now let’s look at the features and benefits of online backups from WorldBackups.net<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Automation</span></strong></span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">1. With online backups from WorldBackups.net you don’t have to worry about tape changes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">2. You can run jobs whenever you like, safe in the knowledge you don’t have to be around to change tapes for the nightly backup.</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">With one simple non-reversible password, your data is secure.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Costs. Tapes versus WorldBackups.net</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Tape</strong> - You have the outlay of tapes, drives and 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>WorldBackups.net</strong> - An online 50GB backup would compress to approx. 20GB and cost a lot less - </span><span style="color: #3366ff;"><a title="WorldBackups prices" href="http://www.worldbackups.net/pro_user.php" target="_blank">click for prices</a></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">.</span> Plus you won’t ever have to upgrade your backup solution again because our software is free.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Security</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">All WorldBackups.net backups can be encrypted (not even we can access your data without the password).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Durable backups</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Your data will be stored in a minimum of two facilities.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Simplicity</span></strong></span></p>
<p>WorldBackups <span style="color: #000000;">backs up all versions of Windows, Exchange and SQL using wizards.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
