Nerd Online Backup

We’ve had more than our fair share of disasters in New Zealand this year and disasters, both natural and human-caused, can threaten your precious files at any time. A fire, power surge, or leaking pipe could fry your system. Even without suffering a calamity, there are plenty of other threats to locally stored data; hard drive failure, accidental deletion, or a lost or stolen laptop could make you a victim of data loss.

Small businesses rely on the availability of their data to keep running, so data loss is arguably more catastrophic for them than for consumers. In fact, a recent survey found that 48 percent of small businesses had suffered data loss. The top causes of small business' data loss included hardware/software failure, accidental deletion, computer viruses and theft.

Having said that, losing precious family photos of your children, birthdays, holidays and weddings can be equally as heart-breaking and backing up these precious memories is incredibly important.

Since online backup’s securely store your files away from your premises at off-site server locations, your data will stay intact and available even if your premises suffer a disaster. With more and more emphasis on "cloud computing" it only makes sense that backup services should take advantage of this hot trend in technology.

Nerd Online Backup is a powerful tool that backs up your important business and/or personal data to secure facilities in both Auckland and in Christchurch, meaning that your data will be safely preserved somewhere and easily recoverable in the event of a disaster.

Once setup by a friendly Nerd, backups occur automatically in the background so there is no reliance on someone remembering to do something (one of the biggest reasons backups don’t happen). And with our fantastic on-going support contracts, you can rest assured knowing that whatever happens, your data is safe with Need a Nerd.
