To use cloud backup, first create a backup pool with a number of users. The you can download a client to install on the on-premise device, whether it be a MAC, Laptop, PC or even a Server (Linux/Windows). You can then setup the backup schedule on the client to your own specification, i.e daily, weekly and so forth. You can set the admin console to provide notifications on backup success and failure to monitor your ongoing integrity.
Why choose cloud backup?
Off-site and tape backup are quite expensive methods to backup data, and with the increase in volume of data make it difficult to manage. Cloud backup gives you an infinite data repository of your backups so you can design the schedule and data you wish to backup to suit your organisation. The simple and clear pricing helps you determine the costs up front and you also have the ability to restore the data to any other decide with the client, giving you must faster recover than having to build an identical spec machine.
