I am always amazed and delighted to hear customer stories, but this was a score!
An online backup customer of ours, who is based in the UK, returned from South Africa a very happy person.

I previously mentioned the different methods of creating backups of your MS Outlook PST and for the most part its a manual process. You can still use Microsoft’s Outlook plugin to create an automated copy of the PST file but it still requires a safe offsite backup.

I’ll assume that if your business uses a database application that you perform daily/nightly backups of the core database to protect your business. For now I won’t assume how you perform those database backups but let me show you what I see on a regular basis.
