WACL: Making Computing Simpler

All businesses need a validated information security policy and part of this policy must be to ensure data backup. As the lifeblood of a business data must be protected against loss or unauthorised change. We can advise on or put in place procedures to guard against this, to ensure regular backup of your valuable data.

Data may be a business’s most valuable resource, and ensuring constant access to this data may therefore be one of a firm’s most critical operations. Backup is the term used to describe the copying of computer data for safe-keeping, ensuring this data is not lost. Restore is the term most often used for the recovery of data from backup media.

Any data held on a computer system may be subject to loss; it is thus essential to take regular copies of that data so that in the event of loss it may be restored with little or no loss of business.

In extremis, such as a fire, your complete computer system may be ‘lost’. WACL are available to assist you to quickly set up a new computer system with restored data such that you may continue your business activity with as little loss as possible. WACL systems consultants specialise in this form of disaster recovery, working alongside our clients to mitigate problems in this area before they occur.
 

Backup

We can create procedures and set up systems to ensure your data and systems are backed up regularly and securely either on to secondary media or via internet facilities.

 

Restore

When data has been lost or corrupted we can assist in restoring it from backup media. Indeed if the integrity of data or system backup is to be ensured then that backup should be tested by performing a restore. We can assist in this function.

 

Disaster Recovery

Unfortunately there is a possibility, however small, that your complete computer system could be lost, your data, systems and equipment could become unusable, for example through fire, flood, vandalism or robbery. We can set up systems and procedures such that in these events your computer system could be up and running within a fairly short period of time (e.g. 24 hours) and so your business itself would not be at risk.  

 

Whatever your computer backup requirements WACL can assist you.
