Backup

Why is backup so important?

Imagine if your computer was stolen, your computer was caught in a house or office fire, or your computer simply crashed and could not be revived ... would you have a form of backup in place for all of your business data, financial records, music and family photos?

Having a reliable backup solution in place is very important. It is a preventative measure. You may think, but how can I justify the cost? Just ask yourself, can you imagine losing all your work, music and/or your precious photo memories.

Online Backup

Backup your computer system and your data with our automatic online backup service. Feel confident knowing that your data is safely backed up to our secure facility onsite.

Online backups are monitored 24/7. Backups will occur overnight and our technicians will be alerted to any problems. Further reviews will be conducted by our technicians at regular intervals.

We recommend online backup is used in conjunction with another backup solution, such as a total imaging solution, for your added protection and convenience.

Online backup is suitable for home users and small to medium sized businesses. Online backup does not require any special equipment; all you need is an internet connection, and Forerunner takes care of the rest.

FMS Backup

FMS Backup provides automated disk remote backup, disk imaging, file level remote backup and bare metal restore for Windows servers and workstations (PCs and laptops). Unlike conventional file based only products, FMS Backup creates an image of the entire system state - including operating system, business applications, user settings, drivers and data - giving administrators the framework to completely rebuild a downed system in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take.

Offsite Duplication

Clients who have Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices can duplicate their computer's data to our offsite Rsync server. This service should also support any other hardware using the Rsync protocol.

At a scheduled time, convenient to the client, a backup of all selected data, will be performed and duplicated offsite. Once an initial 'seed' backup has been taken, subsequent backups will only need to transfer changed data to reduce internet costs.
