New research by hard-drive company, Maxtor, puts the number of users who absolutely (never back up their PC data http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/663) at 46%. Of the remaining users, it is safe to say that up to 80% do not back up their business-critical data on a regular basis.
With this in mind, Business Connexion recently put Cibecs' backup and recovery solution for desktops and notebooks through its paces, with all respondents finding it easy to use, fast, reliable and especially effective when travelling for business.
According to Cibecs CEO, Richard Dewing: “These statistics point to a clear need for a product that takes responsibility away from the user, while ensuring data is backed up in a quick, uncomplicated and cost-effective way. It is in answering this need that Cibecs' data backup and recovery solution received a glowing review from Microsoft Competency Evaluation, performed by Business Connexion.”
The product operates unnoticed in the background - with daily automated backups and Cibecs' distinctive data compression and encryption featuring strongly, and positively, in the Business Connexion test group's overall analysis.
Using Cibecs over 3G to perform backups and restores while on the road scored high marks with test reviewers like John Hilton, who remarked how easy it was to perform backups and restores while travelling. Senior Project Administrator, Kerry Thomas, also gave Cibecs the thumbs up, stating that backups ran smoothly and unnoticed. “I didn't even realise the backups were running,” says Thomas, “until I had to restore a corrupt file.”
Furthermore, Business Connexion test panel member and Microsoft Product Trainer, Hannie Bothma, expressed satisfaction that no problems were experienced during backup sessions, with both backups and restores easily and successfully completed.
A major feature of Cibecs' product is the promise of a much lightened workload for companies' IT departments. This feature was echoed by the findings of Business Connexion's test panel, who agreed that the product was easy to use without placing much overhead on IT administrators.
Based on the positive endorsement from the test group, Cibecs' claim to be the most convenient way to back up and recover data on all desktops and notebooks for businesses is well deserved.
“Cibecs is a fantastic PC backup solution,” says Craig Littleford, Microsoft Competency Sales Executive, Business Connexion. Our recent Microsoft Competency Evaluation of the company's backup and recovery product revealed that it fulfilled all our key requirements, which are:
* Centrally managed PC backups are easily realised through integration with Microsoft Active Directory.
* Monitoring of backup jobs across the enterprise is simple enough for IT administrators to perform.
* The product offers our customers a user-friendly client side interface.
* The high compression ratio used to perform over the network backups and restores is especially relevant to 3G or broadband connected mobile users.
“The Business Connexion Microsoft Competency implements comprehensive yet sensible information backup solutions for our customer's data centres. Using Cibecs desktop and notebook backup solution, we're able to do the same for their PC-based data too,” says Littleford.
