HIPAA Compliant, Secure and Automatic Remote Data Files Backup and Offsite Data Files Storage

Accurate Data Storage is a company that provides HIPAA compliant, secure and automatic remote data files backup and offsite data files storage.  Just what is it exactly?

Anyone who has used a computer knows what backup is. On the most basic level, it means having a copy of your file either as a printout or as another digital copy stored in a removable medium such as a CD. Sometimes, the backup is stored in an external removable hard drive or in another computer in the same network. Having a backup is important so as not to lose valuable data in case of system failure or human error. Any computer can crash and sometimes people accidentally delete files permanently.

Making regular backups is a tedious task, though, and people often neglect to do it or honestly forget to do it. This is where automatic backup software comes in handy. It automates the backup process for the user at certain scheduled times, preferably at least once a day at the end of regular working hours. This keeps the backup files always updated and current, ready for use at the start of every working day.

In the case of automatic remote data files backup, offsite data files storage is included in the package. This means that the backup files are stored in a remote location separate from the physical location of the source computer. File transfer is done online using 128-bit encryption for security.

Automatic backup software may be installed in personal computers or in company work stations or company servers. Offsite data storage comes in various sizes that can fit various budgets. Because rented storage space is valuable, the user needs to judiciously choose files that are to be backed up. Programs need not be included because the user is expected to own the disks for easy reinstallation if the need arises. Of course, if additional storage space is needed, this can be availed of at additional cost.

Stored backup data can be accessed and managed by the user with a password. Files in the vault can be viewed and deleted at will. Deleted files can no longer be restored, though. To put them back in the vault, the user can upload them with the next scheduled backup.

Accurate Data Storage stores their clients' offsite data in password protected vaults located in a data center that is disaster proof, with power provided by diesel generators. The data center is protected with the use of biometric locks and is guarded day and night by professional security specialists. The guaranteed confidentiality of information assures HIPAA compliance.

Whenever and wherever necessary, the offsite data backup can be accessed instantly through an internet connection for quick and easy restoration. There is no need to search for misplaced backup disks. There is no danger of finding the backup disk corrupted or erased.

If the user happens to have a slow internet connection, only the very first backup will be a tad slow. It could take several hours, depending on the volume of current files. Subsequent backups will only involve file updates, though, and, unless there has been an inordinately huge data input, should take only a few minutes. Most users schedule the very first backup on a weekend so as not to disrupt regular working hours. If an ongoing backup process is canceled before completion, there is no need to worry. When the user restarts the backup it will resume exactly where it left off earlier.

HIPAA compliant, secure and automatic remote data files backup and offsite data files storage provided by Accurate Data Storage is your best insurance for personal computer files or company computer files.
