So you’ve built and grown a online business with your hard work. You know the difficulty in building a successful online business and established, or new, just how many things you have to keep track of.  Only you know the endless hours of work at the beginning, the amount of money invested and the sacrifices you had to make to make your business a reality.Is is possible that all at once you can lose it all?

Unfortunantly, Yes would be the answer.All the work you’ve done to build and grow can be wiped out with a simple mistake.Since you have an online business, I’m sure you’ve seen first hand (or at least the effects of) a server crash, hacker attacks, corrupted databases, and even uploading bad versions of a site.Let alone having the system you build and run your business with fail due to a virus, disk failure, or any other tragic event.

You might be doing everything right and don’t have to worry about anything. But keeping up with it all is tough when your one person company. Especially when its comes to technical detail when your expertise is your business and not computer minutia.

How do you protect the livelyhood your business provides? Do you keep multiple copies, leave it up to your host, manually back it up. But if you have sites, blogs, and stores on multiple hosts (which are likely running Linux), and your work system has your original work (which is likely Windows or MAC).How do you protect the product of all your hard work?

It’s simple really, use Internet Attached Storage.The most feature rich systems will handle not only your home/work systems, but dedicated servers as well… With a single account so you can use your data from any of your systems.  You can take advantage of the growing acceptance and demand of regular home users for online backup which has driven down pricing where it’s affordable and fully featured.  More and more online businesses are using Internet Attached Storage for backup of their dedicated servers, shared hosts, and work/home pc’s.  And for good reason.

What you need to find is a Internet Attached Storage provider with advanced features.The important features are that it’s multi-platform, working with Windows, MAC, and Linux.That they efficiently use bandwidth.Which means that they only backup changes to your files (after the initial upload).And that copies of your changes are kept online (versioning) by default.  The last consideration is that they provide value for the dollar.Don’t take claims of unlimited storage for $$$.You’ll discover (at precisely the wrong time) that many providers Terms of Service don’t allow you to store much more than any other customer they have.

So you can lose it all if your data (blogs, stores, websites) are destroyed by viruses, hackers, or hardware failures.  But now with Internet Attached Storage you can backup all your sites and systems with a single account easily, quickly, and affordably.
