Data backup is essential for protecting small businesses from ransomware attacks, human error, hardware failure and natural disasters. These events can lead to data loss and system downtime, which can be very costly for your business. Carbonite Safe® backup gives small businesses powerful cloud and hybrid backup that is affordable and easy to use. It takes just a few minutes to install this backup software on one or several machines with remote deployment and management. You can create custom policies and deploy remotely to individual machines, teams or departments. From there, automatic cloud backup ensures your data is recoverable in the event something happens to your business systems. You can also schedule backups around workflow and optimize bandwidth utilization to avoid bottlenecks. Optional onsite backup ensures the fastest possible recovery and reduces downtime. Whether your business environment calls for a cloud-only solution to protect computers, or a combination of cloud and onsite protection to ensure fast recoverability of servers and databases, Carbonite has a solution that fits your needs.
