Tekoa Software announces new Online Backup Services

If you take a gander at the Tekoa Software website, you’ll probably notice a new Tekoa Logo being added to their already familiar corporate one. It is for a new service of online backup services the company is offering for very reasonable costs – and they are one of the few such services that can accommodate everything you want to throw at it – including servers and their complicated databases. Other similar services through competitors will be happy to backup your desktop units, but can’t handle the sophisticated structure of a server. Tekoa can. That’s significant.

Once you’ve set up your backup account (and there’s even a “mini” (200 MB max) 5-day free trial if you just want to try it first) you can backup an UNLIMITED number of computers on your account – no need to open an account for each user in your company. That’s a significant feature for a small to medium business with a dozen or so users and a couple of servers. Much more economical to do it all under one account!

The new software feature gives you the ability to either backup your data to their online servers (in 10 data centers around the world) or to store it locally to your own facility’s external USB drive, a local network location, a USB “stick” or even an iPod. Their software handles everything for you from a very easy to understand web screen.

You can specify a specific schedule for the backup to occur automatically; monthly, weekly, daily or even hourly. It even allows you to tag special critical files with their “Live Protect™” feature which will automatically monitor the file for changes and immediately back it up online each time you save a change to the file. What a great time-saver for you as you don’t have to remember to do special backups for those critical files. And for those of you in the medical community, our backup is so secure that it even meets the new HIPAA standards!

All backups are saved forever – none are ever deleted. You can restore to any point in time just by selecting one of your old backups to restore. What a great tool for looking at things in the past – just like real-time!

You can even give someone else permission to restore a specific file on a one-time basis and use the service as a “file sharing facility”.

This feature-rich service is billed to your credit card monthly and the charge is calculated by the amount of disk you need. Why not go to http://onlinebackup.tekoasoftware.com and take a look?
