You’ve probably seen a few of the numerous online backup services aimed at consumers and casual users. They’re fine for people who want a quick and easy way to ensure that their important files are backed-up offsite.

But what most people don’t realize is that, in many cases, if you delete a file from your computer, after 30 days that file will also be deleted from the online backup. That’s not so great for businesses that need a permanent backup solution. So Storage Guardian has just launched a new service that’s designed for home-business/small-business users that want a set-it-and-forget-it online backup service, priced accordingly.

The new service, Storage Guardian Mobile Client, is aimed at smaller companies and SOHO users, which often have several desktop computers, numerous laptops, and some network-attached storage units. It’s still based on the Asigra platform, so it provides an all-inclusive backup and recovery service that ensures all crucial data is safely backup-up to a secure, offsite datacenter.

Long-term data protection of up to 1TB of data is provided for as little as $50/month, with additional storage costing 4.9 cents per gigabyte.
