Keep your business moving forward with Bluetowne’s powerful cloud-based solutions that make it simple to protect your data. Instead of backing up your critical business data to external hard drives or flash drives, online backup sends your data to a secure, offsite storage facility. You can access your files anytime, anywhere while they remain protected from fire, flood, theft or other disasters. The benefits of online backup are numerous: increased efficiency, security, peace of mind, and affordability – just to name a few.

Off-Site Location

Using an offsite storage location for your backup data is the only sensible approach, because it mitigates against the possibility that everything could be destroyed. Other major benefits of offsite backups include:

• Reliability
• Security
• Affordability
• Scalability
• Ease of Recovery
• Ease of Access

Goodbye, Pain Points

When a crisis hits, the value of a well planned backup strategy becomes apparent. The best data backup solutions enable you to recover lost data fast, without disturbing your workflow. Buying all the drives and backup media yourself may prove quite expensive, because they also need upgrading, maintenance and your time to operate. Move your data backup solution to the cloud to: 

• Save Time and Money
• Enjoy Easier and Quicker Data Recovery
• Gain Peace of Mind and Additional Security
• Automate the Backup Process and Eliminate Human Error
• Free Yourself From Day-to-Day Management

Data is your company’s lifeblood.  Protect it.
