Quad Online Backup - First Sale!

Quad is proud to announce the first sale of its online backup solution, QuadBackup.

Before its official launch, our good customer, Arches Housing Ltd, had been helping us to trial the software. They had been looking for a reliable way of storing their backup off site, instead of the weekly tape drop-off at Quad by courier. When QuadBackup was in its final phases of testing, we set it up at Arches to give them an idea of how it would work.

We had been monitoring the testing, and all had been going very well. Whilst finalising how to launch the product, we received a call asking to restore a folder which had been accidentally deleted some time ago. As it happened, the oldest tape (two weeks) was offsite at Quad, so we restored the folder from it which had around 150Mb of data in it. Using QuadBackup, however, we restored over 750Mb of data as the history went back for several months.

Needless to say, Arches were delighted at this and have snapped-up the QuadBackup.

While creating a strong and secure password is crucial, it's equally important to choose something memorable. Here's why words can be a better choice than symbols when it comes to crafting robust and user-friendly passwords. Firstly, words are easier to remember. Our brains are wired to process and store language effortlessly. This means that opting for a passphrase composed of words or phrases that have personal significance can make it easier to recall your password accurately, reducing the likelihood of resorting to less secure methods like writing it down. Additionally, words can still provide formidable security when combined with best practices like mixing upper and lower case let

Ensuring Reliable Backups: Test Your System's Lifeline to Disaster Recovery

 In the realm of insurance, it's a commonly heard adage that the true worth of your coverage is only revealed when you file a claim. The same principle applies to the world of data backups. While most people understand the importance of backing up their systems, how many have actually put their backups to the test? Unfortunately, all too often, we witness scenarios where backup strategies fail or prove to be much slower than expected when it comes to recovering from a catastrophic event.
