An unfortunate fire breaks out in the office next to yours overnight. The next morning, your computers are charred and unusable. Now you see why that IT firm was recommending a cloud backup system.

These and other data disasters are all too common and could easily be avoided by having a reliable backup in place that allows you to recover and restore your data in minutes to any device. [Read more…]
