In this growing era of Information Technology and with organizations largely moving towards decentralization, setting up of server networks has almost become an integral characteristic for success. While networks offer several advantages such as resource sharing, improved efficiency within an organization and backing up of the data on the server, care must be taken to ensure that a proper backup is developed.

The IT departments in many leading organizations around the world are of the opinion that it is rather imperative to secure the data on the server, which not only is open to unauthorized access from outside the organization such as cyber theft and ethical hacking, lack of training and inadequate know how of the personnel using the network can lead to malfunctioning of network resources or loss of important data. In addition to this, many organizations offer a diverse range of services and product lines and the presence of multi-purpose servers has become a common feature. In light of this, there is a need for a backup program that would backup a wide range of programs and data.

 Realizing the importance of crucial information sharing that is done with networks, organizations today look to pay particular attention to this issue of making their data secure and consider backing up as a routine job task. The everyday improvement in this regard has confirmed the fact that there is a growing demand of softwares in the market which are designed specifically to serve the purpose of server backup and come in as handy to assist in what may well be a tiring task. Since as of today, there is a rising trend towards reducing paper work and decentralization, proponents of server backup softwares suggest that in times to come it will almost be a necessity and may also prove to be a source of competitive advantage for the implementers.
