Rapid Serve
(Initial backup via temporary physical storage shipment)

IBackup is equipped to cater to the growing need for a viable online backup solution for large data sizes.

For quick initial backup of several gigabytes of data, IBackup provides for a physical transfer of data to a temporary storage device, shipped by IBackup to you.

Depending on the size of the initial data, IBackup either sends across External USB hard drives or Snapservers. The first can be directly plugged into your computer, via USB and the initial backup can be done directly onto the device. This is an ideal solution for data sizes up to 500 GB. For larger data sizes, Snapservers are ideal. Simply copy data onto these devices and ship it back.

Once your data is transferred from these devices to IBackup's primary storage devices, you can continue incremental backups through the online backup process. This provides an efficient means to establish online backups for datasets with sizes 100GB and higher. The Snapservers are pre-configured with RAID 5 storage of up to 1.5TB and DHCP. If you have DHCP servers on your LAN, just hook up one of the Snapserver ports to the LAN and copy the data. If not, configure the Snapserver networking details to suit your network. IBackup personnel will provide the necessary authentication information to configure it. To ensure the safety of the data during shipment, use appropriate packaging material.
