St Lucia, Queensland -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2010 -- Times have changed on how we backup our data. In the days of records and card files, everything was backed up on microfiche and stored a secret location, however, getting access to sometimes archived files, was not always the easiest way to do things.

With the birth of electronic files, floppy disks were used to store data, but with low storage capacity you often had a whole set of disks, that had to be backed up and then tripled backed up to keep your data secure.

Now with the birth of the Internet, Betterbackup have presented the business owner with a unique way to store data via the internet. This is called offsite backup. Data backup can be scheduled to occur after business hours, and is an automated process. Betterbackup uses 256-bit AES encryption technology, the same technology the US government uses to store data, to transfer the backed up information from the business to a data centre.

Why Use Off Site Faculties

Offsite facilities have a range of benefits for the business owners. Making sure that data is protected, is vital for most businesses and despite the preventative measures we can take to back up our data, there are a range of factor beyond our control. These include:-

Human Disasters

Accidental changes or deletions of data, theft i.e laptop data,
