•According to a recent NFIB National Small Business Poll, man-made disasters
affect 10% of small businesses, whereas natural disasters have impacted more
than 30% of all small businesses in the USA. Hurricanes are by far the most
destructive force causing power failure, flooding, customer loss, and the closure
of many businesses.

21. The ideal cloud backup and DR service
Wednesday, July 6, 2011

22. The ideal cloud backup and DR service
• A replica of all protected systems frequently updated by incremental backups or snapshots at intervals set by the
user for each system, so the user determines the settings according to recovery point and recovery time objectives.

23. The ideal cloud backup and DR service
• A replica of all protected systems frequently updated by incremental backups or snapshots at intervals set by the
user for each system, so the user determines the settings according to recovery point and recovery time objectives.
• Full site, system, disk, and file recovery via a completely user-driven, self-service portal that allows the user the
flexibility to choose which file disk or system they want to recover.

24. The ideal cloud backup and DR service

• Full site, system, disk, and file recovery via a completely user-driven, self-service portal that allows the user the
flexibility to choose which file disk or system they want to recover.
• Fast SLA-based data recovery. Recovery is what backup is all about, and there can be no compromise when choosing a
cloud service for backup and DR. The SLA is negotiated up front, and the customer pays for the SLA required.

37. STEPS TO BASIC CLOUD DISASTER RECOVERY
• Setup procedures for synchronizing data with ArcusIT. These procedures
should encrypt the data using the strongest encryption possible. ArcusIT
Remote Backup can accomplish this.
