ARCA Backup Device

Get Ready to Move Beyond Backups in the 21st Century!

Unless properly thought out from start to finish, the act of backing up data can be as effective as rubbing a good luck charm. Most businesses know the importance of not backing up their data, but few explore the process of restoring that data. Many consider restoring simply to be the opposite of backup, in both time and cost. Which simply isn't true. Depending on the level of failure, you may be out of business from delays in rebuilding your infrastructure long before you get to restore your data.

Simple Mistakes, Devastating Results

Have you ever thought about your backup system? Well, if you’re like most others, you can say “Yes, I thought about it once, when it was setup, but I’ve never thought about it since!” Imagine what would happen if you needed to restore your data but couldn’t. Tape backup was the gold standard of backups, but now that technology is outdated and obsolete. Did you know that only 34% of companies test their backups, and of those who do, 77% have found failures? Worse, even with a good backup, restoration is often limited to user-created data. What if the servers themselves are damaged or destroyed? That’s when most backup strategies begin to unravel. Imagine losing a server to fire, flood or theft. No business can afford the kind of extended downtime that comes with a half-baked backup procedure. This is the point at which most backup plans start to unravel. Computer power supplies catch on fire all the time - imagine losing one or more servers to a fire. Long before restoring the user data, the actual hardware must be rebuilt or replaced. Servers must be ordered, built and delivered, and then the operating systems must be installed and configured. This is all work that may have originally happened over years. Even with total documentation, it still could take weeks or months to get back online. 

Could you do business without your electronic information?  Would you know how (or who) to make contact with about customer orders and deliveries?  Would you be able to follow up current leads and make new sales?  How long would your company survive if data recovery was not an option? 

Our best data research finds that over 3% of drives fail each year in the first three years of drive life, and then failure rates start rising fast.

The Solution

The Arca Backup Device. Computer Specialist, Inc. has an all-in-one solution to real-time backup and FAST restoration. Rather than a simple backup device like a tape drive or a USB hard disk, the Arca Backup Device not only backups up user data, it also backs up the entire server, including the operating system, software and settings. This gives you many more FAST recovery options than a traditional backup solution would.
