Cloud Backup

In our day to day lives, we never realize the importance of the data we carry with us. Unfortunately, there are times were we may lose that data, such as hard drive failure, theft, or unrecoverable damage. That’s why we offer both Backblaze and Carbonite online backup.

A good cloud backup service is like life insurance for your data. In the past few years, cloud storage has become extremely economical, so there’s little excuse to not implement as part of your backup strategy. Metro Computerworks has partnered with both Backblaze and Carbonite to help get you started at just $60 annually.

What is a cloud backup and why do I need it?

A cloud backup is nothing more than a copy of your select data copied up via the internet to a secure server located in a data center – for Carbonite,the data center is located in Boston, USA. The redundancy and encryption requirements and standards of the data center make it an extremely safe and secure method for handling data loss risk.

The cloud backup protects you in the event that you neglected to backup to the USB connected drive, or if it stops working, or if you somehow lose all data on both drives due to a major event such as theft, fire, water damage, earthquake, or if data was encrypted by ransomware.
