These days, remote backup seems to be the solution that solves the problems faced by tradesmen regarding business continuity. Pessey Fournier, a family company employing 17 staff in the business of air-conditioning engineering, plumbing, sanitation and ventilation, can testify to that.
In search of a simple, effective and inexpensive backup solution that suits the tradesman's trade
In the light of current enthusiasm for renewable energy, Pessey Fournier, a company steeped in family tradition, decided to offer a range of appropriate services: granulated wood burning stoves, geothermal heating, solar heating, double flow ventilation, underground heat exchangers and even treatment and collection of rainwater.
The success of their business swiftly encouraged these tradesmen to protect their critical data effectively, such as for example, e-mails, working documents, accounting records and even the sales database, so that their customers would not be the indirect victims of an internal computer malfunction. Pessey Fournier thus equipped itself with equipment solutions (backup on tapes). But these solutions resulted in constraints, since avoiding risks such as viruses, fire, theft and flood meant that someone had to take the tapes home and bring them back to work every day. Furthermore, these solutions did not avoid risks associated with the human factor, such as unavailability, deterioration, loss or theft of tapes.
Therefore, at the beginning of 2009, Elit'Info, Pessey Fournier's information management company and IT maintenance and service company advised Olivier Vincent, Sales and Marketing Manager and Technician at Pessey Fournier, to free himself from these limitations and the concerns associated with physical backup by choosing a remote backup solution: AdBackup from Oodrive.
"This solution appealed to us as an additional means of backup. Indeed, we still save all our data on tapes and on our internal mirror hard drive, but AdBackup means that we no longer have to worry about the storage of critical data that needs to be restored for the continuity of our business activities in the event of an IT disaster. Now, backup is automated: all critical data is stored externally and securely every day of the week thanks to remote backup and no one has to be responsible for tapes any more " stresses Olivier Vincent.
Integrating the solution within the company was very quick and easy, with no need for any training or investment.
"This solution is very straightforward and can be managed directly by our IT supplier, Elit'Info. We receive a daily AdBackup report confirming that backup is working properly. We are therefore free from worry and able to focus on the quality of the services we provide and the satisfaction of our customers, with no concerns regarding business continuity.»
