Verio Adds Entry Level Data Backup Plan

January 18, 2007; 08:33 AM
Centennial, Colo. – Verio Inc., a leading provider of hosting and managed services for small to midsized companies and partners, today announced enhancements to its line of PC Data Backup offerings, with a new entry level plan designed for smaller businesses that need to protect 1 GB or less of critical data and work documents.

Verio’s PC Data Backup safeguards data stored on personal computers by automatically backing up files to a secure offsite facility, and providing customers the ability to easily restore files should any type of data loss occur, such as hard drive failure, data corruption, virus or accidental deletion. An easy-to-use, Internet-based tool with point-and-click interfaces allows users to backup one or more PCs and watch backups as they occur.

A recent survey of small businesses and home office users found that 45 percent of them do not have a data recovery plan in place, leaving their businesses susceptible to the high costs associated with data recovery. Additionally, 70 percent of respondents said a single incidence of data loss would be significant and costly for their businesses.

The new 1 GB plan from Verio is ideal for small businesses that need to backup simple spreadsheets, word processing or other financial documents. Verio also offers PC Data Backup plans for businesses that need to secure higher volumes of data or larger files, such as media or graphics. Plans range up to 30 GB of storage.

“With an increasing threat to data stored on PCs, it’s no longer practical for small businesses to back up customer records, financials and other information on thumb drives, or other methods that store data backups onsite,” said Dennis Boyle, chief operating officer. “Verio PC Data Backup offers small businesses an easy-to-use method for protecting critical data to a secure, offsite facility, which is cost-effective.”

Pricing and Availability

Verio’s PC Data Backup is available immediately, starting at $7.49 per month for 1 GB of storage, with additional plans designed to fit varying storage needs and budgets. More information is available at http://www.verio.com/data-backup/.
