Tape Backup
A tape back up solution is a more
traditional solution. This is the industry
standard. Basically, you have a minimum of six
tapes. Every day you change the tape. Typically,
we configure the software to do an incremental
back up Monday through Thursday and a full back
up on Friday. On Monday you take home the back
up tape from Friday and return last Fridays
backup tape. This solution typically costs
around $700 tape should be replaced about once a
year.
USB Drive
We usually recommend home users use an
external USB drive. We can configure this using
software to do automatic backups if you leave
your computer on. The biggest drawback is that
this is ok if your hard drive crashes but it
won’t really work if you have a disaster. Unless
you are going to take home the external hard
drive every night what do you do if the place
burns down at night or a flood from a broken
water pipe? Even if the computer gets hit by
lightning through the cable modem you will most
likely lose the external USB drive too. This
solution typically costs $199 installed and
configured.
We usually do not recommend this solution for
businesses. Human nature is take home the
external drive for a few weeks and then not do
it anymore. What do you do if you are stopping
some place after work and someone steals the
hard drive from your car. What is your liability
if you have your customer’s records became
public information? What about your reputation?
Remember, the tape back up fits in your pocket.
Oh yeah, by the way, a thumb drive is not a
reliable back-up solution. 47% of all compromised
confidential data is due to theft or lost thumb
drives and laptops. In New York State you are
required by law to notify customers whose
personal information has been compromised.
