With tape backups failing to recover up to 50 percent of the data, Barak Hosting's Online Remote Backup Service offers an alternative solution by eliminating unreliable tapes while providing critical offsite data storage for disaster recovery in one tape-free solution that ensures the full recovery of data.

The data is backed up remotely through the customer's Internet connection and is stored offsite at a highly secure data center for effective disaster recovery availability.

Customers do not have to purchase any hardware or software, as Barak's tape-free backup and recovery service provides a fully automated process that requires little maintenance or resources.

To promote the new service, Barak Hosting is currently offering a free trial of the service for 30 days to store up to 2GB of data.   

More new services will soon be announced as Barak Hosting continues to expand its managed services portfolio, says Barak Hosting president Marc Burofsky.

In April, Barak introduced its new reseller hosting program, which provides solutions for website designers, developers and those looking to build their own branded web hosting business.

Barak Hosting provides web hosting and website design services, email, database applications and managed services on shared, virtual private server and dedicated server platforms.
