The benefits of off-site backup: security and reliability for your data

Natural disasters, fires, theft or water damage can jeopardise your local servers and computers. Off-site backup protects your data from such physical threats by storing the data in a geographically separate location. Even if your office or home is affected, your data remains safe and accessible.

With MOUNT10, your data is backed up not just once, but twice – for double the security.

Off-site backup providers use highly secure data centres equipped with the latest technology to protect your data. This includes physical security measures such as surveillance cameras, access controls and fire protection systems as well as digital security measures such as encryption, firewalls and regular security updates. This ensures that your data is protected against unauthorised access and cyber attacks.

At MOUNT10, all data is backed up fully automatically in our own two data centres in the Swiss Alps SWISS FORT KNOX I +II. Your data is stored here in the most secure location in Europe.

With off-site backup solutions, you can set up automatic and regular backups that run in the background without you having to intervene manually. This reduces the risk of human error and ensures that your data is continuously backed up. You can rest assured that your data is always up to date and no important information is lost.

If your backup cannot be carried out as usual, you will be contacted by our Service Operation Centre. This gives you the guarantee that your backup will always be carried out regularly and successfully.

In the event of a data loss or system failure, restoring your data is quick and easy with Off-Site Backup. You can access your backed-up data from anywhere with Internet access and restore it if necessary. This minimises downtime and allows you to quickly resume your business processes.

Off-site backup solutions are flexible and scalable, which means they can grow with your business. Whether you only need to back up a small amount of data or extensive databases, we offer customised solutions that adapt to your needs. This saves costs and offers the necessary flexibility at the same time.

Implementing and maintaining your own on-site backup system can be expensive and time-consuming. Off-site backup solutions offer a cost-effective alternative as they require no investment in hardware, software and maintenance. You only pay for the storage space and services used, which reduces the total cost of ownership.

Many industries are subject to strict data protection and security regulations that require the regular backup and protection of data. Off-site backup solutions help organisations comply with these regulations by providing secure and reliable backup services that meet regulatory requirements.

In many regulated industries (banking, insurance, healthcare, fiduciary, etc.), backup confirmation is not only useful, but required. In all other industries or businesses, such a confirmation helps at the latest during the audit, as the auditor can quickly complete his verification, at least in the area of data backup. There are also end customers who even provide this certificate to their customers as a confidence-building measure. Therefore we as MOUNT10 provide a certificate for backup confirmation without being asked as an enclosure to the invoice.
