Scott Our district would be interested, but we need to know a cost.

I am looking at providing a new service to districts and would like your input. Would your district be interested in a Internet based backup service to backup critical district files off site. I have found tools that would backup files from your networks to a server housed at the AEA. The data is compressed and encrypted before being transmitted over the Internet. The main benefit to this service gives you an automated off-site backup to be used in case of a disaster. I would expect that participating districts would backup their student information systems and other important data. I would not expect this service to replace local backup of equipment and files, but provide an extra layer of protection. The client software is Windows based, but has the ability to backup any network connected drive the Windows system can access. To participate you will need a Windows workstation, but the data to be backed up can be on the Windows, Mac, Novell, or Linux server. I am looking at installing an evaluation version of the software on a server here in Fort Dodge. If you would like to participate in this test let me know and we will setup the client software at your district and configure it to backup. If the test is successful and there is interest from districts I will work on what the pricing will be for the service. If you are interested in this trial please contact me to make arrangements. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions as well. _____________________________________________________________________ Scott Fosseen - Systems Engineer -Prairie Lakes AEA http://fosseen.us/scott _____________________________________________________________________ Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. - Albert Einstein _____________________________________________________________________ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus on the server aea8.k12.ia.us] --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us/ --------------------------------------------------------- --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus on the server aea8.k12.ia.us] --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us/ ---------------------------------------------------------
