The Secure Backup Online Service is really great for laptops! When our automatic backup software is loaded onto a laptop, the backup software will connect to the SBOS Server from anywhere on the planet. When the connection is established, the backup will occur automatically at the designated time. The only thing you have to do is leave the laptop running and connected to a high-speed internet connection. Piece of cake!
Is your laptop backed up?
Most laptops are not backed up consistently - and many are not backed up at all because most laptop users:
* Do not regularly connect to a corporate network or server.
* Do not travel with a backup storage device, and even if they do, the devices are subject to the same type of risks (loss, theft, damage, etc).
* Are often too busy or may not have the inclination or expertise to perform manual or complex backup procedures.
These statistics supporting the vulnerability of laptops are pretty scary!
* Over 1 million laptop are lost or stolen every year in the US — Safeware Insurance
* Lost or stolen laptops are a bigger cost burden to businesses than computer viruses. — National Hi-Tech Crime Unit
* 47% of computer security professionals reported a laptop theft over the past twelve months. - FBI/CSI
* Hard Drive failure accounts for 50% of all laptop failures - IBM
* 25% of all laptops will fail by their fourth year of service - IBM
* 97% of stolen computers are never recovered. - FBI
* More than 35% of US laptop users never backup their data. Of those that do backup, 76% do so once a month or less. - Maxtor
“Computer users who don’t have a systematic backup process are, in essence,walking a digital tightrope without a net,” -
Stacey Lund, vice president of marketing, Maxtor Branded Products Group.
