Remember, it isn’t enough to just backup your computer to a thumb drive or an external hard drive.  Those items can be easily damaged, lost, or stolen. You should also be backing up to dedicated offsite storage. We are now offering our cloud based storage solutions up as a backup destination for you to use with CrashPlan.  Each of our service offerings provide you with enough space to backup your data.  Your data is encrypted before it is sent to our servers ensuring that you are the only one that has access.

Each of our backup servers are replicated to servers both onsite in our data center and offsite to make sure that everything you store with us is kept safe.

Backup as many computers as you like, for one low monthly offsite storage cost.
