Internet Attached Storage is Online Backup on Steroids

July 3, 2009

When it comes to your documents, photos, and data there is a great option for safe storage that doesn’t involve disks, tapes, or gadgets that can get lost, stolen or damaged. Web Attached Storage can protect and serve your personal information anywhere (not just in your house, office, or a tape).

Although your computer files are safe from many threats, there is still the danger of flood or fire, or computer related damage, like hard drive failure, viruses, or human error damaging your data. Digital information is hard and sometimes impossible to recover.With laptop theft rampant you have to worry about this as well.

Web Attached Storage is a inexpensive and practical solution. Your files are first encrypted, then transferred to your Web Attached Storage space to keep them available but only available to you. Additionally, accounts are password protected.

Some considerations when using Web Attached Storage. Some key points are:

Continuous Backup

Frequent backups reduce the chance of losing information. The best Web Attached Storage services have network drive and synchronization features.

Keep local copies

Although Web Attached Storage is secure, it’s also just common sense to keep the originals on your computer.  Thus making it easier to simply synchronize changes to your Web Attached Storage.

Organize your information

It’s senseless to store files if you can’t locate them. The file and folder structure of your own disk is mirrored with Web Attached Storage. It’s a smart business decision to do so.

Keep it secure

Web Attached Storage has personal passwords as a requirement of access. Always keep your account name and password private so your files can’t be compromised.

Home business is like any other business. You have files that can’t be replaced. Photos, banking data, accounts receivables, etc. Data to consider synchronizing to Web Attached Storage include:

Photos

Movies

Audio

Tax Information

Word Documents

PDF Archives

Email

Web Attached Storage provides next generation features like network drive and synchronization that can give you immediate benefits while protecting your important information.

Which Web Attached Storage product do we like?  We particularly like the features, cost, and reliability of OPENRSM CloudBackup.  It gives a great balance of features that go further than online backup that is particularly cost effective.  We can’t say enough good about it.
