In addition to on-site backups (RAID, tapes, external hard drives, etc.) I have been configuring off-site backups my clients. (Barracuda, Carbonite, etc.).

If the building/home burns, is blown away by a hurricane, or the equipment is stolen, you might be in trouble. On-line backup services solve this problem.

Carbonite is a good home solution, Barracuda is good for business.


The on-line backup services may not appeal to the security paranoid crowd, but I go over it. Barracuda is HIPAA compliant.
