BackJack™ vs. Conventional Backup Methods

If you're concerned about whether or not our service is more beneficial than conventional tape backups, here's an interesting comparison:

Comparison Chart

Tape backups require that you purchase a tape drive and tapes You require NO additional hardware (all you need is an Internet connection). We provide the necessary equipment at our storage centre.

In order to run your backups, you need to configure both the software and hardware. This can often be both time-consuming and frustrating if you don't have the expertise!
We have developed user-friendly software with handy, online documentation. We are available to assist you any way we can via:

email
phone (toll free) or
fax

Because you are going to be transferring all of your data onto tapes, you need to be very organized! Tapes need to be labelled and stored properly. You will know at all times what information you have stored on our server and be able to recover it day or night.

Someone has to manually take the tapes to an off-site storage location or you need to make an additional purchase (a fire-proof vault) if you want to keep the tapes safely on-site. This is what makes our service so beneficial! The process of transferring your data electronically means that it is automatically stored off-site. No need to worry if a disaster occurs at your location!

Tape backups are usually performed during off hours which means that you may have to pay an employee overtime to reload tapes and ensure that the backup was performed properly ... And, they have to remember to do it! You can establish a backup schedule and walk away knowing that the backup will take place as scheduled and unattended. You can even have your computer shut itself down, restart, or launch another application once the backup session is done!

Tapes are susceptible to data security and privacy problems. All of your data is encrypted before it is sent via the Internet to our secure servers. What this means is that only you can read your data by decrypting it with a password that only you know - even our own staff cannot access the data.

Large, upfront costs associated with purchasing both the equipment and software required to run your backups Low, monthly cost. There is no large, initial outlay of money required.
