Online data backup from BUMI (Backup My Info!) offers many significant advantages over traditional tape backup, not the least of which are reliability and automation. When you no longer have to worry about changing backup tapes each day, when you don’t have to cross your fingers and hope you can recover your data – that’s better backup. That’s BUMI!
Significantly Improved Data Backup and Recovery
Lost files, documents and computer downtime due to user error and corrupted disk drives are a regular occurrence and are a significant and typically hidden cost in any business. Even though you may think you have a reliable backup on tape this is often not the case. In addition, restores from tape can take an inordinate amount of time and often the restore simply fails, directly impacting the business. In many cases users will be told the data is not recoverable therefore time is wasted recreating documents or worst case the loss of an important database or server can stop a company from functioning or have staff idle for hours on end. BUMI will ensure that copies of your vital data can be restored quickly and easily on demand.
