For many years I was an underappreciated network admin for a small company (40 people), I used to tell people it was one quarter of my job, but actually I think from management’s perspective they wanted me to spend only 5 minutes out of the data rotating backup tapes or whatever.

However we had a lot of problems with our backup server and the $5,000 tape machine monster attached to it. Backups would frequently fail for no apparent reason and I would spend nights and weekends troubleshooting backups and sweating at night when we didn’t have good backups.

That was back in the mid-90′s through 2002 when off-site backup solutions were offered only by folks like IBM who would charge hundreds of thousands of dollars. Enter StoragePipe, the online corporate data backup & recovery solutions experts.

It allows for an off-site, online backup that is refreshed continuously. How much easier it would be to manage a small company’s network today!
