You were lucky enough to make it through 2011 without a catastrophic failure of a hard drive, data corruption, loss of a notebook computer, etc, but will 2012 be so kind?
If you are like so many people and businesses we work with, you are NOT backing up your data. Maybe it is too much trouble, or too expensive.
Just remember, the most expensive backup is the one you didn’t perform….
Let us help you plan a backup strategy for your company, or even your personal data. Whether it is a single notebook, or a fleet of them, a single server, or 50 virtualized servers, we have a solution for you that will fit in your budget, be easy to maintain and more importantly, easy to recover in the event you do lose data.
We have physical backup systems, such as tape based, removable disk cartridge (RDX), disk based and network based, including full backup servers which can mirror your mission critical data. We also provide multiple cloud based offsite storage solutions which we highly recommend, even if you already have on location, physical backups. Servosity, a local offering and MozyPro.
In addition, we are a Symantec partner and work closely with businesses who rely on Symantec’s Backup Exec and deduplication systems.
Using tape or removable disk storage and need a secure offsite storage provider who will help create a rotation? We can help with that. Our local partner provides a climate and magnetic controlled vault and delivery/pickup services.
End of life for tape or disk media? We partner with another local company, ShredDisk who will dispose of that media in a guaranteed unrecoverable manner.
Call us today at 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com and we will help you with your data situation!
Merry Christmas! Microsoft releases Exchange 2010 SP2 featuring new mini version of OWA, multi-valued custom attributes and more!
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP2

- Incorporates all the changes from Update Rollup 1 through 6 for SP1
- Adds Hybrid Configuration Wizard for ease of managing a deployment between your on site Exchange and your Office 365 Exchange
- Introduces Address Book Policies, which determine the GAL, OAB, room list and address lists that are visible to the mailbox user that is assigned that policy
- New Cross-Site Silent Redirection for Outlook Web App can pass off requests to another server in another Active Directory site, and also permit a single sign-on
- Adds Mini Version of Outlook Web App suited for mobile users (tablets, pads, smart phones, basically anything with a browser)
- Mailbox Replication Service changes permit you to move mailboxes from on-premises to another forest or Outlook.com
- Mailbox Auto-Mapping changes allow you to disable Auto-Mapping to save on resources
- Added five Multi-Valued Custom Attributes which allow you to store additional information for your mail recipient objects
- Litigation Hold prohibits you from disabling or deleting a mailbox that has been placed on “litigation hold”
If you are running an Exchange Server 2010 without the current rollups applied to SP1, updating to SP2 today is a great idea as you can kill multiple birds with one stone!

What is your objection to cloud based data backup? Here are some points to consider… #Symantec #Cloud #DisasterReadiness
Offsite, online, cloud backup for your business
Homeland Secure IT encourages the use of backup solutions to complete your disaster readiness plan. One of our recommendations is to implement remote, cloud based backup. Even if you have existing onsite backup, it gives you an extra layer of protection.
We partner with some of the biggest and most trusted names in offsite, cloud based backup providers such as (locally owned) Servosity, Mozy Pro and of course, Symantec.
Below, Symantec.cloud counters some of the most common objections to backing up your data offsite:
“My data won’t be secure”
- With Symantec Backup Exec.cloud, your data is secured during transit using 128 bit SSL encryption and stored using 256 bit AES encryption when at rest in Symantec’s highly secure, enterprise-class facilities.
“Online Backup will drain my bandwidth”
- After your initial backup, Symantec Backup Exec.cloud uses block level, incremental backup and performs backup of file changes only.
- Symantec Backup Exec.cloud uses bandwidth throttling to minimize impacts to your business productivity.
“It will be too difficult to manage”
- Automate backups to run on a schedule, or to backup when file modifications occur.
- Let us manage your backups for you!
- It’s easy to administer yourself – hassle free set up in just three steps.
“Backup is too expensive”
- BE.cloud offers usage-based pricing with no per-user licensing fees
- Subscription fee includes support, maintenance, and enhancements.
- With this solution there is no need to pay for resources to manage and maintain the backup system or for off-site tape storage.
“We don’t really need backup, we use removable drives and discs”
- What happens if the drive/disc is damaged, fails, is lost or stolen?
- How often are you performing backup? – Using removable drives and discs is a manual process that requires time – your time – to manage them. What could you be doing if this process was automated? Would your backup happen more regularly than it does now?
- Are there PCs or laptops that aren’t protected by using this method?
- What would happen to your productivity if one of these machines suffered a disaster/hardware failure? Would your workers lose data they need to do their jobs effectively? Would you lose any customer records, business or financial information?
“We want to manage our backup onsite”
- On-premise backup solutions can be expensive and require someone (perhaps you) to maintain them.
- On-premise backup solutions place the burden of security, storage and tape/disc vaulting on you. They also expose you to the risk of losing equipment and data in the event of a local natural disaster. - Use online backup with your existing on-premise solution to address off-site protection!
- Online backup replaces large upfront investments with predictable subscription based pricing. Managed virtually onsite using a web browser, you can not only manage and monitor the backup of machines at your location, but also at remote offices and on the machines of your mobile workers.
If you would like to know more about backing up to the cloud, or would like to discuss your backup / disaster recovery plan, please call 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com today. We provide complete service and sales of physical, onsite backup systems, from tape to disk in addition to cloud solutions.
The Microsoft issue today that prevented millions and millions (over 300 million) of people from getting to their email for several hours serves as a reminder that “The Cloud” is not perfect yet.
While most businesses who have a typical Microsoft Exchange Server might experience an outage that affects their users, when a cloud provider has a glitch, it affects a massive number of individuals and businesses. Keep in mind that it is not limited to just Microsoft, large providers such as Amazon and Google have both had similar issues recently.
The Microsoft outage was blamed on a DNS problem and affected the users of Hotmail, Office 365, SkyDrive and many other “Live” systems.
If you manage a business and are thinking about a switch to the cloud, this type of issue should be taken into consideration.
Should you want to discuss how to, or if you should move your business from a localized mail solution to a cloud based solution, a cloud solution to a localized solution, or how blending the two technologies can work for you, please give us a call at 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com. We offer Microsoft, Google and other cloud solutions in the Greenville / Upstate, SC area!
As a Microsoft Partner, we keep abreast of all the offerings that MS has that may be of interest to our clients. One area of interest has been The Cloud as momentum in Cloud Computing / Cloud Services has been building slowly but steadily as businesses search for ways to save money and reduce personnel & IT costs.
Google Apps and Microsoft BPOS (Business Productivity Online Services) have really taken off as a way to possibly avoid having a mail server onsite and to save money on the purchase of office suite software, since the mail client is web based (or you can combine it with your out client, such as Outlook).
Earlier this week, Microsoft unveiled their Office 365 product, which is designed to attract those who hate the idea of purchasing a product, and would prefer to license a service or product.
In theory it is good… You are renting the software and it is cloud based. In practice, it may not be realistic for your business if you have lousy internet connectivity.
A ZD Net article the other day also claims that lack of bandwidth will be the downfall to these types of services. Find it here:
If you have a business in the Greenville / Upstate, SC area and would like to know whether a cloud solution such as Office 365 can work for you, please call us and let’s talk! 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com – We are Microsoft Specialists!
The new look of Nexlink computers
Check out the new look for Nexlink’s computers! Same great case, with a more modern face plate…
Those of us here at Homeland Secure IT have worked with computers from every major computer manufacturer you’ve heard of, and we are partners with many great providers of computers and servers, such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc… However, for business computers, we tend to recommend the Nexlink line of computers.
Why wouldn’t we go with a mainstream solution for every client? After all, HP has a reputation as a quality business computer supplier, wouldn’t it be a great investment for any business?
Absolutely! HP does make a quality system, however, one of the things you are paying for when you purchase that new HP system is the name. HP has worked hard to create a presence in the business market and that has cost a fortune.
Other vendors, such as Nexlink, can offer comparable desktops, servers and notebooks, without the marketing and sales expenses attached to them, allowing you the best computer for your dollar!
Furthermore, the Nexlink products are some of the highest quality we have ever worked with. They use trusted components, such as Intel motherboards and Intel processors, nothing less than the best. The support from Nexlink is outstanding, and all the business systems we sell have a 3 year warranty with next day shipping should something be needed!
Should your business be considering new computers, servers or notebooks in the Greenville / Upstate, SC area, give us a call at 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com and let’s discuss if Nexlink is right for you!
Would you drive a car without a spare tire in the trunk? Auto makers are selling cars without spare tires!
How about operating your computer without a backup?
Not a week goes by that we don’t hear some horror story about computer owners losing data. It could be from a virus, a failed hard drive, a dropped notebook, even a misplaced or stolen notebook, but either way, the data is gone and one of the following generally takes place next:
- An IT service professional may be able to recover the data if you have the device, and it has not been physically destroyed.
- You recover from a backup that you have made (hopefully recently) but it may require the re-installation of the OS and/or applications by an IT support professional if your backup is not an image of the running system.
- You write it off and start from scratch – losing all your data…
Either way, not a pretty picture if this happens to you.
All this can be avoided by obtaining quality backup software or cloud services to accomplish this. If you need assistance determining methods of disaster recovery for your home or business computer, or an entire network of computers and servers, please contact us here at Homeland Secure IT… We are partners with Servosity, Symantec, Quantum, Mozy and other backup solution providers. We have solutions for Apple Mac OS X, Linux, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Server, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL and more!
