Laptop Backup Solution For Organizations



While working in your office you might face a hard disk crash or corruption. This causes a huge loss of critical data. Thus there are many companies which opt to backup all the data on which their clients are working. This prevents any such mishaps and allows a faster and more effective work environment.

There are many companies which have created particular software that could be used by a server. The software could create a whole backup of a laptop or a PC on a server. The software not only creates the backup of the drives or the data in question, but it backs up the whole operating software and the associated software so that when a crash or corruption occurs, there is no time wasted on reinstalling the operating system and the other software with it.

Many people consider this as data recovery software. However, this is not the case. They are quite a few steps ahead of the recovery software. Such software is considered to be some of the best backup solutions. The software is installed on the server and the server creates an instance of all the laptops connected to it. The instance is not just an image of a profile of the laptop; it actually copies all the data on the laptop using LAN or WAN.

The data is duplicated at quite a fast speed and it is up to the users to keep the data on LAN, which is pretty much protected; or the high speed WAN. The disadvantage with WAN is that it is not protected like WAN. The server stores all the data on the virtual drive and one can access within the server to recover the lost or corrupted data. The backups created are usually accessible anywhere and at any time, as it is a choice of the user. Multiple predetermined access points can also be created which are given the names of stations.

There are multiple advantages of using such systems. The first advantage is obviously the security of the data. The second is the speed of the data duplication, as the medium used is the internet which allows unlimited and constant data transmission. Next is the time, as this whole process of data copying and recovering is very fast. A laptop could be up and running within hours of the failure. The software is the perfect solution for big companies and organization, as they could monitor all of their computers and the data being stored from a centralised location.
