What's wrong with tape?
Local backups are not bad but they’re not good enough on their own. One of the major problems with many tape or hard drive-based backup "solutions" is that accountants and their clients are very busy. Any solution that requires a human to even push a button is an incomplete solution, it needs to be automated.

Can I also keep a local copy?
Yes! In addition to the remote cloud-based backup, the software can be configured to keep a local copy of mission critical data. In the event of a non-catastrophic failure, data can be restored instantly with the redundant copy of data stored locally on a designated path.

What about initial backup of large data sets?
Yes! In certain situations, the initial backup of a large data set over the Internet is too long to make remote backup practical. To address this problem, CPA.com Data Backup Solutions provides a seed backup service that allows data to be backed up to a local hard-drive and then shipped to CPA.com Data Backup Solutions, where it will be imported into the backup servers. After the seed backup set is imported, the client's machine will begin backing up changed data files over the Internet. Seed backups are available for an additional fee.

How do you handle restoration of large data sets?
If a client's system fails and a large amount of data needs to be restored quickly, a
copy of the client's backup set can be shipped on an external hard-drive to expedite
recovery of very large data sets. Charges and processing time for this service vary
depending on the amount of data to be transferred. Individual files and folders can
be restored online while waiting for the external hard-drive to arrive.

Do you provide differential data backup?
Yes! After the initial backup of a file, only the changes made to that file are sent to our
servers for backup. This significantly reduces the amount of data that has to be
transmitted over the Internet, preserving your bandwidth for other uses. What's more,
depending on your needs, CPA.com Data Backup Solutions can be configured to utilize
different variations of the differential feature, either a light-weight algorithm or in
tandem with the local copy feature.
