I recently discovered a service called IBackup - Online Backup and Storage that I think a lot of business owners from small to medium brick and mortar businesses to the work at home entrepreneur can all benefit from.If you work or ever have worked for a well run corporate environment you know that most companies have employees save company documents to a shared drive rather then individual PC hard drives. 

This way if one PC goes down or is damaged the files worked on by that employee are not lost.What many don’t realize is that shared drive is usually backed up to yet another drive.  This will usually happen by an automated process each night when bandwidth is not being used for daily activities. 

This way the maximum data at risk of loss is only one days worth of data.  Smart companies use an “offsite” back up meaning the data is transmitted over the internet via a secure connection.

 Why do they do this?  Well what happens if the building catches on fire and your back up drive is in the same building.  What if there is a hurricane, flood or tornado and the entire site is lost.  Now the company has not just lost their facility, they have lost their data too which is usually their most valuable asset.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have this type of back up service for your small business and even your personal files?  I talk to small business owners all the time and whenever backing up files comes up they tend to tell me they rely on an external back up hard drive.

Such drives are a great tool and can be had for about one hundred to two hundred dollars for up to 500 Gigs of space.  But think about this; let’s say you are a small work at home business.  You have a home office and your business is like most a second income for you.  You pull onto your street and are shocked to see fire trucks and flashing lights and watch what is left of your house being soaked in water by the local Fire Department.

This is an awful tragedy and now you have a lot of hard time ahead.  This may be a time when you are really glad you have that second source of income.  However with out off site back ups not only did you loose your house, you just lost all your data as well, all your files, what may have been years and years of work and data!

Clearly that would make a bad situation worse!  With IBackup it would be one problem you would not have.  Each night while you slept those critical files would be backed up to an offsite location insuring your data was safe.

So what does a service like this cost?  Try 9.95 a month for up to 5 Gigs with pricing based on space going up from their.  Now since you won’t be backing up your stolen content off of YouTube etc, 5 gigs for most small business people is a lot of space.

For most businesses today, your data is your life and you just can’t afford to loose it.  If you are not already backing up your critical data off site I recommend you visit IBackup right away to learn more about their very affordable service.
