Taking your Backups Online – Lifeboat
Online means any location other than where your data is primarily used. This is basically an insurance measure in case something drastic like a fire or hurricane physically destroys the assets that you keep in your locations where data is backed up from. If that unfortunate event happens, you will know that you have a copy or several copies of this important information stored somewhere else.
Lifeboat by HMC offers you a way to automatically and securely transfer your data backups to multiple offsite locations that are physically and technically secure. HMC's Lifeboat - automatic online data backup service - can help organizations comply with legal regulations that require them to have appropriate controls of their data like HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. Since the process of getting your data to these locations is a secure transfer over your existing broadband connection, there is no time in which your important data is traveling around in a car or briefcase. Your data is always 100% secure.
Lifeboat’s Features:
