Protecting critical business information stored on servers in Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) is increasingly challenging. The pervasive use of computer resources throughout business operations not only continues to increase the volume of business data, but also its importance to the SMB's mission. Ensured, rapid access to this data is as important to the success of the thriving SMB as it is to large enterprises. Further, increasing regulations place greater scrutiny, and potential penalties, on data protection and recovery. Complicating data protection is the fact that it is widely distributed on file/print, email and database servers, with mobile technologies promoting the migration of data throughout the business. Finally, this paper outlines the next steps in evaluating an online disk-based backup solution for SMBs.
