Once you schedule the time and frequency of your backups during installation, DataMate backups run automatically.
Email messages will send you reports to inform you that backups have been completed and will alert you of any errors encountered. Our support Engineers will ensure your backups occur smoothly, and with no issues. So you can rest assured that your data is being backed up safely.
You can schedule DataMate to run as frequently as you require, this can be daily, weekly or monthly you choose.
Because DataMate backs up without any intervention required by you and only sends changed or added data we recommend that backups be done daily, this way you will ensure that your backed up data is up to date and secure at the end of everyday should you need to restore any or all files.
If you have any questions relating to your specific requirements, please contact us.
Initially Onsite and Offsite backups work in much the same way, you choose which files you want backed up and how often and you send them to the appropriate storage area.
In an Onsite backup this may be a tape drive or CD and in the case of the Offsite backup it is sent securely across the internet to our backup servers.
There are many advantages to the Offsite backup over the onsite backup though and these include the following:
Onsite backup requires someone to remember to do the backups regularly, making sure the correct tape or CD is inserted to ensure the backup gets completed.
DataMate offsite backup offers complete protection of your files from natural disasters and theft, if your office is broken into or catches on fire you data is protected in a separate location safe and secure.
With onsite backups this can only be achieved if your backup tapes or CDs are removed from the premises every night a time consuming and inconvenient task.
DataMate allows the remote monitoring of backups, so business owners are confident they are occuring frequently and correctly.
You can backup as much or as little data as you like, you are in control. Our current carrying capacity on our stage one roll-out is just under 30TB.
The amount of storage space required will depend upon the amount of files that you wish to protect. Our minimum space purchase is currently 10GB and any usage above this will be charged accordingly.
We are flexible if you require more storage space on our servers, and will attempt to contact you in cases where we feel you are approaching the limit setup on your plan.
Remember that DataMate compresses your data as it travels to our servers so 10GB of data on your computer will equate to less than that on our servers. If you need help in choosing the right plan please contact our staff, we can advise on your requirements.
You can use DataMate effectively over most internet connections.
Though a faster connection will enable both faster backups and recovery.
Generally most people schedule for backups to occur out of business ours ( evening or early morning ) to ensure Data on our servers is up-to-date with business operations.
The initial backup will be the most time consuming part of the process and depending on the amount of data you wish to backup and the speed of your internet connection could take a few hours to more than several days. Inclusive in your service is the dispatch of a removable hard disk to speed this process up via courier, anywhere within Australia !
After this process the in-file delta technology used by DataMate means that only changes or additions to your files will be backed up meaning for fast efficient backup sessions no matter what your internet speed.
DataMate is currently available for use on the following Windows operating systems:

DataMate uses a 128 bit encryption when storing backup files to the server with choices of different encryption algorithms and modes making sure your data is in safe hands.
On top of this each user of Datamate has the ability to restrict online access to their backed up files to allow access to approved users only.
All our backup servers are housed in start of the art secure City based Data centres for added security and privacy, with Class-A style features ensuring our equipment and network hosting your data is secured physically ( UPS, Diesel Generator, CCTV, Dual Redundant Internet Feeds, Multiple Geographical Data Sites )
DataMate is a Secure Backup Service which uses your internet connection to backup your data files safely offsite.
