Jake (fictional) was concerned a lightning strike would damage his data drives containing valuable business data
Or a ransomware attack could lock his business data and demand payment in the tens of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Jake's business could fail if a data drive was damaged or business data locked by ransomware.
Jake asked us to back up his data drives.
We discovered three of his data drives contained more than 1 TB of business data, such as videos, photos, client project files, etc.
We sent Jake three backup appliances.
One of his employees connected each of the backup appliances to one each of the three computers.
We downloaded a small backup agent into each of the three computers.
The backup agent backed up the OS and data files directly to the local backup appliances.
Once the initial backup completed, the backup software replicated the data to Datto's cloud data centers.
We remotely monitor the backups.
Should a backup fail we diagnose and fix the problem.
Should lightning strike one of the data drives or ransomware lock business data, we spin up a virtual machine (VM).
Within minutes Jake and his employees resume working on their client projects.
Jake sleeps well, knowing his business data is safe from damaging lightning strikes and cyber threats.
