What is a data safe?
The vast majority of businesses and homes now have computers and other electronic media devices. A fire data safe or a fire data cupboard (for large volume storage) is specifically designed to store not just paperwork and documents, but also vital and irreplaceable computer media and back-ups, such as 3.5″ diskettes, DAT tapes, CD ROMs, Zip drives, negatives and VHS tapes. Fire data safes are suitable for any valuable plastic or man-made materials.
Computer media is more vulnerable to heat than paper documents are. Fire data safes offer greater protection from fire than fire document safes, as they maintain a temperature of 52°C or less for a specified time period. At temperatures greater than 52°C computer media can become corrupted or be destroyed.
Fire data safes range in terms of the time they will maintain this low temperature and protect your data. The fire resistance is usually given in minutes, and typically the range is 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Best selling models are rated to 120 minutes.
Internet-based DataSafe
Online DataSafe is an Internet-based service that allows computer users to routinely backup and recover their important data using a secure and trusted server on the Internet.
If you use your computer to create and save valuable data for business or personal reasons, you should make some type of backup of your important data to prevent a total loss in the event of any kind of system failure or human error. Simple data backup can be done by saving your data to multiple locations, copying the data from its original location to removable media, another hard drive, or another computers hard drive on the network.
To make this task easier, specialized programs known as Backup Software exist to aid users in regularly making a backup copy of their data. Since some users are not interested in managing the tasks necessary for maintaining their own backups, a new breed of backup software was created, known as DataSafe Software. DataSafe software is designed to routinely copy your important files to a private, secure location on the Internet by securely transmitting your data over your existing Internet connection.
You will find practical advice and tips on choosing a fire data safe for the secure storage of important paperwork, computer media (CD-ROMs, Zip drives and disks) and other backup units, in this blog.
