“How much time will I have to spend doing backups?” This is one of the most frequent questions we hear from potential clients here at Granite Mountain.

 

When developing a data backup and disaster recovery plan, one of the most important elements you should consider is the administrative cost of implementing and staying on track with your plan. If you expect to be managing the system in-house, you’ll need to think about who will perform your backups, whether or not he/she is doing them properly (or doing them at all!), how often it’s being done, and in most cases, where that data is being stored. This will all require a high level of trust on your part. How will you plan for data backup when your designated staff member is on vacation or out sick? You can always train an additional employee, but is that really the most efficient use of your resources? And if you’re using a tape backup system without nighttime staff, can your business bear a service interruption, for the purpose of backup, during busy daytime hours?

 

By choosing a data backup and disaster recovery service that is disk-based and fully automated, you can securely and reliably protect your data without hiring additional staff, or training existing personnel that may not necessarily be up to the task. An automated system not only reduces labor costs, but also eliminates your worries about the who, how, and when of data backup.

 

When you purchase the Granite Mountain solution, you’re also purchasing the people to do the majority of the work for you. When your NAS box arrives, all you have to do is connect it, and we’ll configure it for you in about an hour. This makes our data backup and disaster recovery service the perfect choice for small to medium sized businesses, who either don’t have an IT department or just can’t spare the staff to administer a data backup schedule.

 

When you choose the Granite Mountain solution, you can rest assured that your backups will take place automatically, on schedule, without effort on the part of anyone within your organization. You’ll no longer have to backup manually. In fact, you won’t need to monitor the system or do data restores either, because we do all that for you as well. If anything goes wrong at any stage of your backup, Granite Mountain’s SOC (Service Operation Center) will detect it automatically and will initiate corrective action. If you need a restore, all you have to do is call the SOC, and we’ll take care of it immediately. It’s as simple as that!
