Non-Profit Sectors Safeguard Online Data With Backup My Info!

Backup My Info! (BUMI) announced strong demand for its online data backup and recovery service within the non-profit sector.

Non-profits are leveraging BUMI as a partner to proactively manage and secure their business-critical data as well as membership and fundraising databases which are the lifeblood of any charitable organization.

One such organization leveraging BUMI’s data backup and recovery expertise is Japan Society, an American non-profit which fosters understanding and relationships between Japan and the United States. Prior to deploying BUMI, the non-profit used a flawed data backup and recovery service that would only restore data by an entire day – not specifically by sender or subject. For an organization heavily reliant on email, it was not an ideal solution.

"When we started using BUMI, the difference was immediately apparent," said Larry Kong, IT Director at Japan Society. "You can use any company to backup data. The key question is how quickly can you restore it? With BUMI, if we lose something, even a single email or calendar entry, we can retrieve it quickly and easily."

Supporting major operating systems, BUMI provides an automated off-site data backup and recovery service. With data protection and reliability a prime concern for all types of organizations, BUMI has built several layers of security into its online backup solution. Data is encrypted at the point it leaves a customer site and remains encrypted at all times. From a disaster recovery and business continuity perspective, all off-site backups are stored in SAS70 Type II data centers located in Canada.

"Faced with reduced financial support coupled with a growing demand for services, non-profit organizations operate in an increasingly competitive environment while pursuing their charitable passions," said Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. "We are proud to work with a number of non-profits and serve as a virtual extension of their IT departments which can oftentimes be stretched and focused on many other tasks. Our secure, off-site data backup and restore service is complemented by our full-time engineers who continuously monitor data backup processes to ensure customer data is properly safeguarded and proactively follow up if they identify any errors or problems."

In addition to Japan Society, BUMI is working with many other non-profit organizations such as The Neuropathy Association, New York County Medical Society, The Boys’ Club of New York.
