Hi, Depending on whether you are after simple file backup or a more advanced image backup, we are able to assist. File backup is cost effective and easier to install but does not deal with disaster recovery if that is your goal. We offer a service call Enterprise Backup which replaces your current IT backup and disaster recovery systems and replaces them with an onsite / offsite service that is totally managed. If you are interested please give me a call Argy Paktitis Emerging IT 1300 133 966 http://www.emergingit.com.au

I have taken quite a liking to Crashplan, which allows both local backups to another computer and offsite backups to Amazon's cloud storage. The first backup is very slow, but after that all subsequent backups are quite fast, as long as you don't have massive amounts of new data every day.

Hi, In regards to offsite and Cloud based backup, please be aware that as a NFP or NGO you may have a legal requirement under the Information Privacy Act of 2000 to keep any data only on servers based in Australia. Which rules out your Amazons, Googles and Microsoft datacentres, plus a host of other providers that host your data overseas. We can provide Local Onsite and Offsite Backup and Disaster Recovery services for you, from simple file based backups all the way through to full replicated server environments that fail over live to our Australian Data Centres (zero downtime). IT Leaders is an Australian owned and Australian hosted, Information Privacy Act 2000 compliant Cloud Service provider. Please feel free to contact us at any time for assistance.
