What do people think?

"One of our clients asked us to investigate the possibility of performing PC backup over the internet to a secure location. After some research we came across several products that seemed to hit the spot, further testing however proved there to be one clear winner - Depositit!"

"We are now recommending all our small business and home user clients to use the Depositit automated backup solution to secure their critical data."

James Davis
Janik IT Solutions Limited: www.janikit.co.uk

"For the first time since I started The PR Department 11 years ago, I have true peace of mind! Frankly, backing up was always done sporadically before, but it's great to know that from now on, should the worst happen, only one day's work would ever be lost. The Depositit service takes just minutes to set up, and for £10 a month, it's the best insurance I've ever taken out. With 'business continuity' clauses having all but disappeared from many insurance policies, I'd rather not take any risks. I'd thoroughly recommend Depositit to any business."

Security
Security and data protection are at the core of the Depositit service. Our unique server architecture replicates data to a minimum of 3 geographically and commercially independant data centres and IP providers that are monitored 24 hours a day.

Depositit security protocols are designed to be compliant with ISO 17799.

Mission
Large corporations have been using remote backup services for many years, however small to medium sized businesses have more limited IT budgets and generally can not afford highly sophisticated backup systems. It is these businesses, with lesser protection in place, which stand the greatest risk of disruption or possible demise in the event of a data loss or disaster.

Since 99% of businesses in the world are small to medium sized, Depositit was founded to offer state of the art Remote Backup protection at a price everyone can afford.

In Closing
This product and service is top of the range. As a user since Feb 2004, I can verify that they meet and exceed the high standards they aspire too. Their website includes a comprehensive FAQ page and a Flash quick tour presentation.
I have worked closely with Anthony Ryb the Sales and Marketing Director and found him to be very helpful and responsive to marketing joint ventures. Depositit's standard business package (4,000mb) provides the equivalent storage capacity of approximately 6 CD Rom's which equates to over half a million A4 pages of text. This is excellent value for money. Should the need arise for more storage this is done automatically providing the client security that nothing ever gets lost.

Ray's Rating
10. Outstanding. A must for all who value their data.
