What is The Difference between onsite and offsite backups?
Basically, remote backups work like regular tape, or other media backups, with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer being backed up, a remote backup sends encrypted file data over the internet to our secure servers safely off-site. This eliminates the possibility that the same catastrophe that damaged the computer would also destroy your important data. This usually happens at night while your business is closed and nobody is using the computers. It’s completely automatic. In fact, you may forget it’s working every night.
