Cloud Backup from Vodacom

Cloud Backup from Vodacom is an online backup solution that offers your business automatic data backup with “anytime, anywhere” data recovery.

It is a disk-to-disk solution that is available for UNIX, Windows, Mac and Linux operation systems. This online backup service gives your business simple, reliable and secure data protection.

Why use the Vodacom Cloud Backup solution?

Traditional data backup methods can be expensive and labour intensive. Running and maintaining your own data backup system, along with all the associated backup media and management not only requires capital outlay, but also that you devote IT resources to it.

Our Cloud Backup solution offers a perfect alternative – the ability to have an automatic online backup service without the need to completely fund and run it yourself.

You pay a monthly fee  and we run a remote backup system for you. You won’t need to purchase backup equipment upfront or constantly buy backup media. You also won’t have to pay IT staff and physical data storage costs.

And should you lose data at your premises, your data can be quickly restored.

How Cloud Backup works

Once you have signed up for our Cloud Backup service, you simply download software that you install on the computers from which you want to backup data.

You can back up data from workstations and servers, across both physical and virtual platforms. Data transfer is via a secure Internet connection (SSL encrypted), to the Vodacom Data Centre, where your backed up data will be encrypted and securely stored.

You have full access to your backed up data from any of your computers that has a secure Internet connection. Backup administrators have full control of all processes via a single user-friendly management console.
