Off-site backup is essential for business success and survival; you never know when the worst may happen.

Midland Remote Backup software unobtrusively encrypts, compresses and then sends your important data via the Internet to one of our backup storage servers; the next day you receive an e-mail confirmin g that your files are securely stored.

Data Storage Quantity

The amount of data storage you require will ultimately dictate the cost of your solution. Cost is calculated per Gigabyte that the data takes up on your server with a 10% variance built in.

Should you exceed the agreed data storage capacity (+10%) you will be given the opportunity to trim the data on your server before we increase the total data storage capacity of your solution.

We compress the data that you store, giving you room for data growth during the contract period.

Internet Connection

Your Internet upload speed will determine the amount of data that can be replicated outside of your working day, but for most situations a normal ADSL connection is more than suitable.

This will be tested during the setup to confirm that you have a suitable bandwidth to enable a safe and reliable backup solution.

Backup 500GB in One Night

Our software backup technologies enable backup of a large volume of data to be completed in a very short period of time. The initial seed feature allows staging of the data to a local hard drive, whic h is then taken physically to our backup servers. With our incremental technology, the original file is required to be backed up once only, i.e. in the first backup job. Subsequently, only the changes within the file made since the previous backup are necessary to be uploaded.

For example, for a file that is as large as 500GB, we can simply seed the full backup to a removable local hard drive and then deliver the data in the removable hard drive to the backup server. Since only the changes made within the 500GB file (normally less than 1%, i.e. 5GB of the original file size) are required to be backed up again, this amount of data can be backed up easily to the server via the Internet in one night. As a result, instead of having to back up 500GB every day, you just need to back up 5GB every day to keep the file up-to-date on the backup server.
