Online Backup

Aspire can deliver a range of corporate-level backup and recovery services to ensure that your business critical data remains safe and secure at all times.

The operational and financial implications of lost data can be catastrophic to a business yet many still rely on the traditional and somewhat cumbersome process of tape-based backup. Not only is this method time-consuming, costly and person dependent, statistics show that 40% of tape restores fail.

Our Online Backup service removes the inefficiencies and risk associated with tape backup and instead focuses on the ability to restore data when it is needed, to a location where it can be used within a timescale that is acceptable to your business.

Whether you are looking to back up your servers, computer networks or laptops, we can provide a flexible, reliable and cost-effective data protection service that saves you the time and cost associated with traditional tape backup methods. There is no capital outlay, no costly service contracts and no need for end user intervention; we manage the whole system on your behalf for a minimal monthly fee.

Customised Retention
We can match your current backup retention with our flexible service keeping your data for as long as your business requires. We offer time-based retention which allows you to select the number of weeks we hold your data for.

How does it work?
Our Online Backup service sends incremental data securely via the internet from your servers and/or computers to our enterprise-class data centre facility located at Doxford International Business Park in Sunderland.

This is programmed to run automatically as often as you require without the need for technical assistance and is monitored by a central management system for success and failure.

All data is transmitted and subsequently stored in an encrypted format using one of the standard encryption algorithms, namely AES 128, AES 192 and AES 256 bit.

In the event of a disaster, a simple point and click operation via our user-friendly backup software enables you to restore your data quickly and easily, thereby ensuring that your business experiences minimum downtime. And, should the original server be unavailable, we can restore to an alternative location or a hosted server.
