Set It and Forget It Backup System

A Bright Idea Backup System

How would you like your computer to automatically send an email to you after each scheduled backup job?

How would you like your computer to shut down automatically after each scheduled nighttime backup job?

We can put into place an external hard drive backup system that performs the following sequential events...

1. Performs an auto-scheduled backup job once each week.
2. Performs an auto-scheduled backup job of changed files the remaining days.
3. Emails to you an auto-generated notification after each backup job has completed.
4.
Automatically shuts down your computer after each backup job has completed.

Just imagine, you won't have to leave your PC turned on all night long for those long backup jobs that may take an hour or more. Plus you'll have peace of mind knowing that your PC isn't idling in an unattended state all night long and is securely shut down. You'll also save energy and reduce the risk of crashes due to power outages or other electrical events.

Unlike the factory-sealed and mass produced units you'll find at your local computer store, ours are designed to be upgraded so the hard drives can easily be replaced in each unit. For example, if you outgrow your 160 gigabyte unit and would like to double the capacity, then simply format a new 320 gigabyte hard drive, open the case and then out with the old and in with the new. This negates the requirement to purchase an entirely new unit and saves you money!

The price for each unit shown below includes delivery, on-site consulting with you about your backup requirements, and setup and configuration of your backup jobs with the auto-generated email and automatic shut down of your PC features. Please read our Terms and Conditions carefully before you make a commitment. Here's a complete listing of additional features of each unit...
