DATAFORT Information Update
Fixed Cost Backup Helps Micro Businesses Tighten Belts without Compromising Security

£35 (+VAT) a year automatically backs up everything on a laptop computer

In these challenging times data backup is one of the first things small companies abandon in an effort to cut costs. Tape drives are expensive and time consuming to use properly. Removable disk drives can be lost or stolen alongside equipment and offsite backup services while effective carry stiff monthly tariffs based on the amount of data selected for backup.

Ditching data backup puts a business at risk because should a computer fail, be stolen or damaged, all critical information will be lost and that can mean the end of the company. This is backed up by a 2004 DTI study that revealed more than half the businesses questioned would be impacted severely if critical information was either corrupted or no longer available.

The smallest companies or independent traders are frequently the ones most at risk from data loss. This is because small companies run with very little margin for error and the loss of the computer holding customer data or invoicing information could mean lost revenue if it is not backed up.

It is precisely these companies that will benefit most from the release today of Bytebaq, a new fixed price backup service from long time backup provider DataFort. Bytebaq, which retails for £35 a year (+VAT) will backup all the files on a laptop or desktop computer to DataFort’s vaults. Backups happen automatically, so users never have to worry about whether or not the task is done. The user simply installs the software and Bytebaq takes care of the rest, backing up all restorable content to high security EU compliant data centres. Data is encrypted before transmission, so it's totally secure.

If preferred, users can override the total backup feature and customise their backups to save only selected data, or structure the service according to bandwidth profiling, a function which is exclusive to DataFort. Importantly, while other backup services will hog the internet during backup times, Bytebaq will not interfere with internet use, so work or music downloads can continue while the backup is running in the background.

"We believe strongly in supporting micro business," said DataFort Director Marcie Terman. “Independent traders and small companies are the backbone of our communities and Bytebaq offers something of genuine benefit to help during these challenging times,” says Ms. Terman. 
Bytebaq is built on the same technology DataFort has used to backup critical data for their premium customers over the last ten years. Though the service lacks many of the bells and whistles of their premium services the technology is tried and tested through ten years of continuous use.
A 30-day, no obligation FREE trial of Bytebaq can be downloaded from www.bytebaq.com. Enter the authorisation code FL86D-Q4XBK-UASU7-TN994 to generate a 30 day trial account.
