Near Loss Of Irreplaceable Photos Inspires Launch Of Data Backup Company

    PROVIDENCE, RI, September 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At a time when more and more critical data is migrating onto personal and business computers, Mickey Pazienza learned just how vulnerable that data could be. Pazienza, a 16-year veteran of the IT sector was approached by a good friend whose computer had been crashed by a destructive virus. The computer contained the last pictures of the woman's young daughter who had recently died of leukemia. While the photos were recovered, the threat of losing such irreplaceable data inspired Mickey to launch Treasure Backup, a company that provides online data backup services for individuals and small businesses.

Online backup is the process of moving a copy of critical data from one computer to another to provide safe offsite data storage. It is increasingly being used as an alternative to expensive tape drives and unsecured CDs and memory sticks. Studies show that only 5-15% of PC users regularly back up their data, leaving a vast majority of business and personal data at risk in the event of a data loss occurrence, such as a fire, stolen laptop, computer virus or even the everyday mistake of accidentally deleting important files.

"There is so much crucial data that is simply unprotected," said Pazienza, "and it's tragic when that data is lost and cannot be recovered. Business owners and individuals don't realize how much they treasure their photos, email, business documents, intellectual property, invoices, contact lists, and other data files until they're gone."

According to the Contingency Planning Research & Strategic Research Corporation, 43% of businesses that experience a massive data loss event never reopen. Treasure Backup's mission is to prevent this from ever happening. Using a client's Internet connection, Treasure Backup's software automatically backs up the client's data on a daily basis. The encrypted data is stored on Treasure Backup's secure servers. Using a personalized encryption key, clients are able to access and restore their data at any time.

Treasure Backup's thorough encryption procedure makes the company HIPPA-compliant, meaning that it is authorized to back up medical and health records for any organization required to comply with HIPPA procedures.

For a limited time, the company is offering an individual data storage plan starting at $9.95/mo and a small business data store plan for $25.00/mo (clients pay an additional small monthly fee based on disk space usage). Treasure Backup services are available throughout the US with on-site assistance and management available in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
