NOTES:

1. Someone has to be putting in or taking out tapes. If no one puts in a tape, no backup occurs.(top)

2. If the person who puts in the tape is sick, there won't be a backup. Will backups be performed every time they're needed, including weekends and holidays?(top)

3. DataShield¹⁰¹ auto-synchronizes with servers at other facilities. One failed harddrive poses no threat; one crashed server or cluster poses no threat; one facility burning to the ground poses no threat to your data. The use of multiple facilities in different cities exponentially increases the probablility that your data will be there when you need to restore it.(top)

4. Offsite protection is a significant component of a secure and reliable backup strategy. Having dedicated personnel maintain a routine offsite rotation schedule is difficult, cumbersome and time consuming. DataShield¹⁰¹ does it automatically for you. No more time wasted! No more offsite rotations forgotten.(top)

5. Your data is automatically archived for you. We can store your data for nearly any length of time desired. The default period is 6 months, but we can save it for several years if needed.(top)

6. You can restore every file you backup. For example, let's say you backup a document every day for 12 months. You can restore that same file for every time you backed it up and you will see how the file evolved over time. Did you make a change to a file that you didn't want to, but you're not sure when? No problem, keep restoring the file back through time (up to the end of your archival period) until you find the version you need. That can be a lifesaver!(top)

7. You can configure DataShield¹⁰¹ to automatically backup your selected data anytime, day or night, as often as you like. For example, you could backup My Documents [Backup Set 1] once per day at 6:00 p.m. Then you could backup a special Excel folder [Backup Set 2] every hour. And you could also backup other folder(s) or file(s) [Backup Set 3] at 3:00 a.m. You choose. DataShield¹⁰¹ will connect automatically according to the schedule you set for each backup set. And, if you are using a dial-up connection, DataShield¹⁰¹ will dial-up, run the backup and then disconnect.(top)

8. Using the familiar Windows Explorer view, on the BACKUP tab simply check boxes to select the files(s) or folder(s) to backup. To restore files click the RESTORE tab, check files(s) or folder(s) to restore and click RESTORE. It's quick, easy and always available.(top)

9. Not only can a floppy disk fail when you need it most, but it is difficult to store just about anything on a floppy anymore. CDROMs used to be great, but they fail too and quickly run out of space. Tape backups will become obsolete sooner that you think. DataShield¹⁰¹ grows with you and your business. Our basic plan includes 10GB of storage space. Need more? No problem! We can customize a plan to fit your specific needs.(top)

10. Experienced IT staff are those who are dedicated to their profession, including effective backup solutions. From the right solutions, to maintenance, to routine testing and verfication of the backup process, that's what they do. They are always found in big companies, but usually not in small businesses. DataShield¹⁰¹ is robust, fast, secure, reliable, redundant, offsite—and we take care of the tech issues. You just select the data and schedule the backups.(top)

11. DataShield¹⁰¹ is a Windows-based software product. However, we can use it to backup non-Windows systems, including Macintosh, Linux, etc. Contact us for details.(top)
