If your business uses an Oracle Database, I hope you have never suffered from losing the contents of the database with a corrupted hard drive or other error inducing calamity.
If not, my congratulations, but make sure you look into some form of protection, perhaps Online Backup. If you have already had such a problem, I think you already know just what sort of problems it can cause.
IBackup have recently added features to enable easy online backing up of your database, see the explanation for more details.
Even if your business doesn’t actually use any Oracle databases, IBackup’s impressive feature list will still interest you, with Microsoft Exchange backups covered, as well as scheduled automatic backup processes.
