Backup Your Business: Online Backup
for Any-Sized Company

You never know when a computer may crash or when a thief may steal a company laptop. Whether you have a company of less than 5 employees or an office of 30, you know better than anyone that your business documents need to be safe and secure at all times. This is why backing up your business computers online is an important loss prevention step for any company, not to mention that online backup will give you convenient access to your files when you or your employees need them.

While there are a number of top business online backup services we recommend, it is important to choose the right one based on the size of your small business. Each of the services have different features, user allowances and storage allotments that are good for a variety of company sizes. We break it down:

• 25 - 50 employees: Carbonite, our top pick for both business and home online backup, is great for any size business thanks to their 250 GB and unlimited computer allowance. They also allow an unlimited number of users to access the account, giving them the advantage over our next pick for larger businesses, SOS. Though SOS Online Backup only allows one username per account, their plans have a high GB storage allowance and backup for an unlimited number of computers. To get around this username issue, business owners can create a username that all employees can share to back up their machines. SOS also has  the pricey yet advanced ServeSave solution for those who want to back up their business servers. Read our full review of SOS here.

• 10 – 25 employees: Carbonite is a great choice for mid-sized businesses as well. They are super affordable while having a large storage allowance. Read our full review here. MozyPro is another good choice because they provide backup for any number of computers and allow an unlimited number of users to access the account; all while letting you pay incrementally based on the amount of data you need to back up. In addition to Mozy's already affordable price, our readers get an exclusive discount with our promo code.

• Less than 10 employees: SugarSync is the perfect solution for your small office. The basic plan comes with 100 GB of storage for unlimited computers. The best part, however, is the file syncing that comes with each account. With SugarSync, your employees can sync their files and folders across all of their computers and on the web for quick access anytime. If you are a small office looking for server backup as well, check out IBackup for business.

• Just you: If you're a one-man or one-woman business, check out our personal online backup page. While these services may be called "home" plans, they will provide maximum safety, affordability and ease for your small business. If you are interested in syncing up your computers and/or the ability to sync folders across all of your devices and the web, check out the cloud storage page.
