This document discusses remote data backup protection for small and medium businesses. It outlines four critical components for business continuity: frequent and reliable backup, off-site backup storage, a documented restoration plan, and off-site storage of the plan. The solution, RemoteByte, automatically backs up data to a secure datacenter, reducing human errors and costs compared to tape backup. It provides 24/7 access to restored data over the internet. Contact is provided for more information on remote data backup services.
The document discusses how exponential data growth is straining centralized cloud infrastructure and driving up costs due to lack of economies of scale. It argues that a more distributed and decentralized approach is needed to better manage and leverage the vast amount of unused capacity at the edge. This includes distributing data across devices, networks, and data centers instead of concentrating it within massive centralized data centers. A hybrid model is proposed that keeps some functions like policy centralized while pushing processing and storage out closer to where the data is created and used.
2. Data loss is a nightmare
Data is growing exponentially
If you find yourself in a situation where you have to deal with an explosion in the volume of your business
data, you are not alone. The accelerating pace of data creation, accumulation, and diffusion is becoming
an increasingly common phenomenon among companies throughout the world today. Data is growing
exponentially due to widespread use of the Internet, email, and media-rich software. As early as 2002,
International Data Corporation (IDC) projected a dizzying annual data growth rate of 80%.
1MB of data is worth $10,000
Viewed from a strategic perspective, your data represents the core of your business. You have invested
a lot of TIME, MONEY and EFFORT in developing your business data. Contracts, sales records, proposals,
accounting records, marketing material, business contacts, emails, and even digital photos taken at
important events, etc., make up the bulk of your invaluable business assets, which you cannot afford to
lose. Studies have shown that:
1MB of data is worth approximately $10,000. 1
Re-building just 20MB of lost data could cost more than $17,000 and take nearly three weeks to
complete. 2
A leaked record may cost you $180 to rectify. 3
Retrieval of data from a crashed hard drive is often extremely costly, and there is NO GUARANTEE
of success! 1
Causes of data loss
Data loss makes your business suffer Natural disasters
Computer virus 3%
Your business data go hand in hand with your business 7%
operations. The loss of such data, or even the temporary
inaccessibility, may threaten your hard-earned competitive
position. Software
corruption Hardware
Companies without proactive backup and recovery policies 14% malfunction
44%
are likely to be OUT OF BUSINESS within 2 years of a major
disaster. 4
Human error
Loss of business data may ruin your company’s reputation, 32%
and may lead to expensive litigation.
Worst of all, it interrupts your business continuity.

Conventional approaches to backup are not good enough
Poor “unstructured” conventional backup methodologies, such as tape, CD Rom, and external hard drive,
etc., are not good enough anymore because of:
High failure rates during restoration
Slow read / write speed
Difficulty in detecting problems of backup before performing restoration
High maintenance cost
Expensive offsite storage of tape library
Reduced flexibility for backup caused by fixed capacity per backup media
Increased likelihood of occurrence of negligence-induced problems (e.g. lost or misplaced data)

2. Continuous data protection
Skadoit!'s advanced continuous data protection (CDP) technology captures every version of a file that has
been saved to a hard drive. With CDP, even if the hard drive crashes completely after a full day’s work
without invoking a manual backup, the saved copy of the working files will still be intact on the backup
server. It provides a highly dependable means of real-time, continuous data protection for servers,
desktops, and laptops effortlessly and transparent, without any human intervention. In addition, our
backups will only run when the computer is idle, or when the level of CPU utilization falls below a specific
percentage (e.g. 20%), leaving the backup operation completely transparent to users.
The virtue of a backup is to make copies of critical data so that these additional copies can be used to
restore the original following a data-loss disaster. With Skadoit!, data will be copied, compressed,
encrypted at a high level and finally uploaded to a remote server located offsite through Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL). The backed up data is 100% restorable to the original formats, when needed, by simply
clicking a few buttons. In addition, Skadoit! provides another level of protection by replicating our remote
backup server(s). This offers double protection, the protection which cannot be provided by other backup
software alone.
4. 3. All platforms and common databases supported
Skadoit! supports all leading operating systems which can run Java2 Runtime Environment 1.4.1 or
above -- essentially all operating systems -- including Windows, Linux, Mac, NetWare, NAS devices, etc.
Besides, Skadoit! comes with modules (agents) specially designed for backing up common database
applications, including Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Lotus Notes/Domino, Oracle
and MySQL. This allows the luxury of backing up databases professionally as recommended by the
respective software vendor easily without having to know how it works technically.
4. Support of open file protection and enhanced security
Backing up files which are open allows the user to continue working while the backup set completes its
work. This is especially helpful with the exchange and email backup. Plus our point-in-time recovery
allows for an easy restore of lost or corrupt files.
Skadoit! is just as concerned about security as any of its customers and prospects and probably even
more so. That is why we employ multiple levels of protection. All of our customers data is compressed,
encrypted, and transferred over a secure connection. Our servers are contained in a high level, highly
secure data center requiring bio metric thumb print, pin, and card access; the premises is manned 24/7
with strategic video surveillance; and the cages are locked and securely protected by vibration
detection.
Compliance with all the major regulated requirements such as HIPAA and GLBA is also something we
take seriously. Our mission is to make sure you keep your mission on track.
5. Backup 500GB in one night
Our quick load and in-file delta technologies enables us to backup a large volume of data in a very short
Storage space period of time. The quick load feature is used to backup a large volume of data (encrypted and
Date Incremental
(GB) compressed) to an external hard drive or other external device. With the proprietary in-file delta
technology, the original file is required to be backed up once only, i.e. in the first backup job.
DAY 1 Quick Load (Full) 500
Subsequently, only the changes within the file made since the previous backup are necessary to be
backed up.
+ (Delta-1) 5
DAY 2 Upload
Total = 505
For example, for a file as large as 500GB, you can simply quick load the full backup to a removable local

DAY 3 Upload
Total = 510 Skadoit! for upload to our backup servers. Since only the changes made within the 500GB file, normally
less than 1%, i.e. 5GB, of the original file size, are required to be backed up again, this amount of data
+ (Delta-3) 5
DAY 4 Upload can be backed up easily to the server via the Internet in one night. As a result, instead of having to back

up 500GB everyday, you just need to back up 5GB everyday to keep the file up-to-date on our backup
servers.
6. Backup individual mail in Microsoft Exchange Server
Microsoft Exchange Server is one of the most popular email servers used by businesses of any size.
Skadoit! Software’s built-in Microsoft Exchange Server Backup Module allows for the back up of all
critical data within Microsoft Exchange Server, including individual email, calendar, and contact list, etc.
This capability makes Skadoit! an ideal backup tool for Microsoft Exchange Server.
