3. Backup system
Online backup (also called Cloud), is a system
that stores your files on network servers. This
way you can access your data anywhere at
any time and reduce IT costs for the
company.
Of course, the online servers where your
documents are stored are secure.
There are many online backup providers and
whose offers often depend
on storage size,
type of use or multiplicity
of channels used.
5. How to choose ?
Every supplier is different !
Indeed many cloud providers initially offered
services to private user only, so that the offers
do not correspond to company needs.
There are some market standards, but many
companies do not apply them.
The development of Clouds resulted in many
similar offers that all look similar. The price is
often perceived as a quality mark but this
does not necessarily reflect the reality.
7. Advice
Security of your data must be ensured !
Choose a provider that offers only
backup products.
Inform yourself about the company’s:
• Activities
• Previous failures
• Assistance
• What insurance do they provide if
a problem occurs?
• Credibilty
