Welcome!

It is my pleasure to personally welcome you to the first Bocada Weblog.  It seems like only yesterday that we launched Bocada around a group of dedicated people determined to improve the lives of those unsung heroes that every day are responsible for protecting the critical data on which our businesses and government organizations rely.  We believe above all else that by helping to empower you, the people that provide these services, we will make a difference both to your organizations and also to your personal success. 

Working closely together we have made great progress.  Today, thousands of individuals in hundreds of leading organizations across the globe make better, more informed decisions about how to more efficiently and effectively protect data, educate and share results with their coworkers and customers and improve their reputations within their organizations.  The result has been better protected data at a much lower cost.  Even more exciting to us, the result has been hundreds of service awards, promotions, raises and more rapid career advancement for our users.   

The Bocada team recognizes that the world of data protection is evolving rapidly – new technologies, new processes, new requirements and even new business models will continue to increase complexity and bring new challenges.  We also recognize that whatever the security, methodology or technology implemented to manage and protect data, the ultimate success today and for as far as we can see rests with you. 

So, we aim to make this Weblog work for you—the professionals that are building careers managing and protecting data.  We hope that we can help bring everyone in the data protection community closer together and encourage you to share best practices whether relating to data protection management, getting the most from your vendors, or even getting ahead in your jobs.  Moreover, we want your feedback on how to help you achieve your goals, and whether or not we are doing enough to support you.

Thanks for listening.  All the best, Mark

Hi, for a secure, fast and reliable backups of all your important data you have to try an online service like IBackup (http:www.ibackup.com). IBackup's offsite backup services include applications for interactive and automatic scheduling of backups with compression during transmission, incremental/full backups, encryption, synchronization, open file support for MS SQL Server and Exchange Backups and many more. None other than PC World recently rated IBackup as the `best all-around’ service’ in a review of online backup services.

IBackup accounts are compatible with most FTP clients on most platforms providing a powerful flexible tool to transfer files. Besides backups, you can restore the stored data easily and that too from previous versions of files and folders stored. Using ‘IDrive’ you can map your online IBackup account as a network drive on your computer. You can then drag and drop files to the IBackup account from the Windows explorer.

Easily manage your multimedia files with ‘IDrive Multimedia’. On double-clicking on a multimedia file, it will open up your media player and starts playing instantaneously. You can even create 'playlists' or do 'shuffle' using your favorite media player pointing to IDrive's media files. Streaming of video files is also instantaneous. You can even use advanced functions such as fast-forward with near instant response. You can share all the media files with others by creating sharable links and emailing them.
