Ideal Software Launches Data Vault Backup Service For Rent to Own

Ideal Software Systems, a leading provider of rent to own software, announced the launch of The Ideal Data Vault. Data Vault will automatically perform daily backups of all store data. "The threat of complete loss of business records can be a devastating," said David Goldman, CEO of Ideal Software Systems. "The Data Vault addresses the problem by providing regular backups of your data using state-of-the-art equipment and a professional support team. Your data is actually stored in a vault for long-term protection."

The tedious and time-consuming process of making regular copies of computer programs and data files is a well known shortcoming for most computer users. Ideal’s Data Vault Service provides automated backup and assisted recovery of computer programs, documents and data files on a regular basis.

In the event a computer is damaged or the data files corrupted, restoring the backup data files is often the best or only way to bring your business back to life. Should a Data Vault user encounter data loss or corruption, Data Vault personnel will assist in the process of restoring archived programs and data onto the customer’s computer systems.

"Making a regular data “backup” is one of the best ways to protect your business," added Goldman. "Ideal’s Data Vault is your full-time professional partner in keeping your business data in order."

Golden rules of Backup & Recovery

1. Prepare and follow a formal Backup and Recovery Plan. While everything is working is the time to plan.

2. Make a backup regularly and when special needs arise. Frequent backups save work after the recovery.

3. Ensure that you backup ALL the important files. Saving all but one file can often render the entire backup useless.

4. Use the highest quality backup equipment and media possible. This ensures good backups and easy restorations.

5. Use a scheme to rotate backups through several sets of media. Having multiple phased copies of your data gives you more chances to recover.

6. Check the media after the backup. Often people go through the backup process but actually save nothing. Discovering this when you really need the data is very disappointing.

7. Move the data to a remote storage location. You do not want a common disaster to destroy your computer and your backup.

8. Label your storage media clearly and uniquely. Should you need to restore files, this greatly improves the process.

9. Safeguard your data. It has value to you and your competition.

10. Recover wisely. Improper restoration of data and programs can cause more problems than it helps.
