With a simple one-time installation of Tivoli Storage Manager Software from IBM, we will configure your computing environment to run automatic daily backups of your distributed servers, databases, applications and clients. No need to worry about users forgetting to run a backup. Simply “set it and forget it”.

Because we compress your data and transfer it to our servers on a nightly basis, your internet and network bandwidth are never compromised. Productivity remains uninterrupted because your employees can access their files even during backups.

Incremental Backup

Essential leverages the Intelligent Progressive Incremental Backup strategy by Tivoli. Once the initial full backup has been done, we eliminate duplication of subsequent backups because only the newest versions of your files get saved. By backing up less data, we save you time and money by keeping data transfers and network traffic to a minimum.

Our exceptional backup solution is quick and easy to run and if a loss occurs, data restoration is ultra fast.

Remote Backup Made Secure

Your privacy is our priority. Some of the steps that we have taken to secure your data are highlighted below:

• Each user is assigned a rotating password and user name in order to access our electronic vaults.
• Your data is encrypted before it is sent to our servers.
• Once transferred to our servers, your data remains encrypted which means that even our own engineers cannot view it.
• We use premium firewall and anti-virus software to protect your backups from external attackers.
• Our state-of-the art data centre is equipped with leading edge technology from IBM and Cisco. Our network is built with superior redundancy features which minimize hardware failures and service interruptions, ensuring that your data is protected and readily available.

Data Recovery

Focus on running your business and we’ll focus on running your backups. Our system will automatically tell you if a backup failed, and if that occurs, data recovery is simple and fast. With just a few clicks, an internet connection and our step-by-step process, restoration of your encrypted files is well underway. The restoration process is completely automated and can be done by your own employees on a 24/7 basis, or with the help of our experienced technicians.

An operating system can be restored from Essential’s servers to the existing or replacement server in less than one hour.
