Thousands of businesses lose millions of dollars worth of data to disasters like fires, power outages, theft, equipment failure, and even a simple operator mistakes. Studies show that nearly half of the companies who lose their data in a disaster never reopen. 90% percent of these data losses occur because of hardware failures, human error, power failures, viruses, theft, data corruption, and natural disasters.

With hard drive prices going down, the threat escalates as companies purchase huge hard drives and rely on them to store critical business information. Backing up your data has become more important than ever before, but very few companies do it right and some do not backup at all.

Most business owners would be appalled if they knew the risks they are taking by failing to properly backup their data. It is more important than ever to protect the data that your business depends on with a solid backup strategy.

This is how it works...
Supra Canada Technologies Ltd. offers a solution to help you and your business with your data backups. We operate an offsite storage facility for your data. At this facility, an account is maintained for each user. Each user's data files are encrypted with a password for security.

The electronic vault system is set up so that your new and changed data files are collected, encrypted, compressed, and ready to archive. The backup software on your system connects to our Storage Area Network and automatically transmits to our data center. Our computer verifies and stores the data. You can rest assured that your data is safe, because it is stored securely offsite.

The advantages to a typical business are enormous:
• All files are protected by state of the art 128 bit encryption, which only you can retrieve and decrypt
• Completely automated offsite protection
• Fast online recovery of any version of any protected file
• Professional installation, setup, and support
• Only an internet connection is required, eliminating the need for expensive backup equipment and media
• We use state of the Hitachi Thunderbird Storage Area Network and our Data Center is monitored by highly skilled Engineers whose only job is to make sure the backups are performed properly

Offsite Data Backup eliminates the human and hardware errors associated with manual data protection systems, problems such as:
• Backups that are left in the same area as the computer only to be destroyed by the same catastrophe such as a fire or water damage
• Not backing up at all
• Backups that are not performed because of forgetting or not having time
• Faulty media such as backup tapes that are blank or broken

Most fortune 500 companies use the same basic techniques to protect their data:
• All of their systems are completely automated
• The data is copied to a central remote location
• Highly skilled technicians implement and monitor the process.
