Laptops and tablet thefts are on the rise.  They are high value, easy to steal, and hard to find objects. These days, you have a 1 in 10 chance of becoming a victim of laptop theft. In addition to laptop theft, laptops get lost quite often. They are left in bathrooms, left in airports, left in cabs, forgotten in coffee shops, and can be seen riding down the street on car roof’s every so often.

To add insult to injury, here are some scary statistics. A laptop is stolen once every 53 seconds. According to the FBI, 97% of stolen laptops are never recovered.

Many of the ones that do not get recovered didn’t have specialized tracking and recovery software installed.

That doesn’t have to be you though. With a little foresight and planning you can protect you laptop and its data from being lost or stolen.

Overview of laptop tracking

We install stealthy LoJack software on your laptop that updates it’s position with the tracking servers every few minutes. The software is designed to trace your laptop’s location so that law enforcement can go retrieve it.

For laptop tracking to work, you have to install or enable the application before the laptop gets stolen. Once the thief (or concerned citizen) connects to the Internet, its location is updated, and we know where it is and can now go get it.

Laptop recovery

Rest easy, you are not the one that has to go and recover your laptop. (Unless you want to, but we do not recommend that). Your paid yearly subscription includes the recovery part. The trained recovery professionals submit the warrant paperwork, works with the police, and handle all the recovery aspects.

Laptop locking

With LoJack you can lock your laptop so people can’t access it. You can even customize the message they see when they try to use it. (I’m coming for you!) I wouldn’t put that, but you could if you wanted to.

Laptop delete

You can even remote delete your data. (Drastic but effective) This keeps would be data thieves from accessing your sensitive data.

What happens when your hard drive dies? You are looking at lost time, lost data and possibly lost sales. Our off-site data protection is the answer. We provide fast, secure data backups to a remote server.

Why a remote server? In a disaster situation, a desktop, laptop, or server in your office can become damaged. Pipes burst, sump pumps fail, roofs leaks, fires happen. When your important data is backed up off-site, you can easily recover from any situation. Off-site data protection can have your business up and running in a matter of hours, not months.

How does this service work?

We install software on your server or primary computer. We set the system to do daily backups of your bookkeeping and accounting data. We provide a full set of options including daily or weekly backups. If a problem arises, you contact us and we get started on a plan to get your business data back in place, and ready for the next business day.

Your data is secure.

All data is transferred using 128-bit encryption and stored in world-class data centers, using 256 bit AES encryption. Your files and folders are then periodically backed up to local RAID devices for quick recovery. (Raid is multiple hard drives for data redundancy)

Your data is password protected by you. You set the encryption key. We can see your data, (for monitoring purposes) but cannot access it.

The backup servers are continuously monitored for any network attacks on a 24 x 7 basis using sophisticated software tools. Your data is stored in data centers that are SAS 70 compliant. Our data centers use HVAC temperature control systems with separate cooling zones provided for the servers.

Which operating system does this support?

CPC remote backup supports Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. Both 32 and 64 bit versions of all.

How many computers can I backup?

One of the best things Vista had, was the ability to control the access your children have to the computer and internet.

You can control what programs can be ran: You can set which installed programs can be ran under your child’s account.

You can set limits on games:  You can separately control what games your kids can play. By rating or just in general.

You can control when your kids can use the computer: Using Time Limits, Windows allows you to set what hours of the day your child(ren) can use the computer.

You could also use the built in web filtering to control what websites your child can see. Each of these features was also included in Windows 7 EXCEPT the built in content filter.

Now you must install a separate piece of software.

Booooooo-Hiss-Hiss

It is however, better this way. It is also much more robust and will actually SAVE you time.

Web filtering is now accomplished with a component from the Windows Live package. The service hooks into parental controls in Windows 7 enabling you to monitor what your kids do online. Management of the new web filter is done online with Windows Live. You can set various levels of content filtering or switch to a pre-determined list of child-friendly sites which can also include sites you’ve white listed. You can also prevent file downloads. Other features of this service include activity reporting, contact management (controlling who your kids can communicate with online), and the ability to manage requests by your kids to access restricted content.

All of which is great. If you have multiple kids and multiple computers, the one stop shop to configure access to the internet will save you tons of time. And tons of trips up and down the steps.

A computer can be divided into 2 parts. One part is the hardware. That is the physical components that are made in a factory. Processors, RAM, Hard drives, optical drives, etc.

The second part is software. They call it software because it isn’t made rather its “created” Software is Windows, Excel, Outlook, Easy CD, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and everything else we need to make that hunk of metal worth something.

A computer with no software can seem like a paperweight.
