Are you protected?

If you computer won’t boot up tomorrow morning, or worse, you have a disaster, are you comfortable with your back up strategies? The days of just “dealing” with a data loss are long gone. Employee records, financials, tax information, pictures… you name it we keep it on our computers these days.  On site backups to a disc or external drives are still a sound strategy. However what happens if the disc or drive is gone from fire or flood? You can always turn to CMS’s partner DriveSavers for data recovery, but what if we could protect you now so you never had to turn to DriveSavers?

With CMS’s Remote Backup, powered by Mozy, we can do just that.  With CMS Remote Backup, your files can be safely and securely stored on our servers just in case of disaster. If you are worried about security, you can stop worrying now. We use the highest security standards and offer customers the option of added security by choosing a personal encryption key. All files are transferred using a 128-bit SSL encryption, the same level of security that banks and credit card companies rely on.

It gets even better than that! Have you ever deleted a file or made changes and over written your file by accident? Typically that file is gone forever.  CMS Remote Backup can keep up to 30 days worth of the file so you can restore that one individual file back to yesterday, save yourself hours or perhaps even days worth of work!

For more information on CMS Remote Backup call one of our technicians at 1-800-962-7022 or visit our remote backup section.

Everyone always talks about backing up once your data is on your computer.  But what about before the data gets to your computer?  Our friends and partners over at DriveSavers Data Recovery have put together a list of tips for the Holidays when dealing with digital photos.

This holiday season protect your digital photos by following these simple tips:

• Transfer images from the camera’s Flash memory onto CDs, DVDs or an external hard drive after each use.
• Don’t delete images or format the memory card until all photos have been transferred and verified.
• Remove the Flash memory from the camera carefully.
• Protect your memory card from static buildup or breakage by using a durable anti static case when transporting it.
