Server Backup and Recovery

"One of the primary reasons for outsourcing our IT with mindSHIFT was to ensure the safety and integrity of our backups in case of a disaster. I can confidently say that I sleep a lot better now knowing that mindSHIFT is handling this essential part of our IT system." Maria Colon Rainforest Alliance

• All of your organization’s data residing on servers (your organization’s or ours) is backed up to a secure offsite facility, eliminating costly maintenance and upkeep and ensuring your data is secure and easily accessible when needed.
• We perform server backups automatically and regularly and store them on a fault tolerant, expandable storage area network (featuring RAID 5 disk array with hot swappable spare drives).
• You are quickly notified if there’s a server data backup failure for any reason. If you’ve engaged us to provide recovery services, we will manage the entire recovery process for you.

Desktop & Laptop Data Backup and Recovery

• Minimize data loss risk through automatic backup of desktops and laptops; requires no user or IT intervention.

Backup works in the background using minimal resources, so users can keep working while backups are running. Automatic, non-intrusive online backups are scheduled to run when it’s most convenient for your organization, without user or IT intervention. Backups are encrypted, using government-level 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and stored in the mindSHIFT data centers, so you know they're secure and always available.
