Why choose Scratch Backup?
Trying to protect your business information using traditional tapes and discs has many inherent disadvantages and points of failure.

Time Consuming & Open to Error
Tapes & discs require rigorous manual daily routines, which leaves them open to human error.
Scratch backups are fully automated, requiring no human intervention.

Failure and Corruption!
Failure or corruption will occur if office backup hardware, tapes / discs do not operate in a stable environment, away from heat, humidity, and electromagnetism.
Scratch stores your data on hardware mounted in a controlled, fully protected environment 24/7/365 - no failure, no corruption.

Storing and Labeling!
Tapes and discs require careful labeling and secure storage off-site, in case of restoration and to protect against theft, fire, flood or other disaster.
Where do you operate and keep yours?
Scratch automatically labels each of your backups in date order, storing them securely in state of the art data centers, eliminating loss, theft, fire/flood and other disasters.

Ageing Hardware and Tapes
50% of backups and restorations fail due to worn hardware and tapes. Badly maintained hardware and tapes/discs being reused beyond the manufacturers recommendations are the principal causes.
Scratch eliminates local hardware, tapes/discs by storing data on managed hi-spec servers in multiple secure locations. Any failure of hardware still means your data is available 24/7/365.
