admins to install your software. We will install the software using your
high speed connection and our remote utility VitualIT software.

Backups start automatically |
From then on, as long as your computer is on
and functioning, backups will start automatically according to the schedule
that you have set. While backups are typically scheduled during the night
when there are few people using your computers, backups have little or no
impact on your computer's performance and your ability to access the
Internet. With VBackup, you also have the option of manually starting a
backup at any time.
|
 |
Your computer is searched |
When a backup starts, your hard drive is first
scanned for any files contained in your backup set that are new or have
changed since your last backup. Only these files need to be transmitted,
minimizing the time it takes to perform a backup as well as minimizing your
valuable bandwidth.
|
 |
Files are compressed |
Once the VBackup software identifies a file
that needs to be backed up, it compresses the file using industry leading
compression technology. Compression ensures that not only do backups
take shorter but that you limit the amount of storage space that you use on
our servers, thus saving you money.
|
 |
Files are encrypted |
After being compressed, each file is
individually encrypted using your unique 256 bit encryption key.
Because your encryption key is stored only on your computer and is never
transmitted over the Internet, no one but you ever has access to your
files.
|
 |
Sent securely over the Internet |
For added security, each encrypted file is then
sent over the Internet via a secure channel using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology, the same Internet transmission technology that is used for
online banking.
|
 |
Stored in multiple data centers |
All of your files are sent to two secure data
centers, located hundreds of miles apart from each other. Each data center
has 24/7 monitoring, advanced security technology such as biometric access
controls, backup generators and redundant connections to the Internet.
|
 |
Restoring your files is easy |
Any backup method is only as good as its
ability to retrieve files. This is just as true for online backup. With
VBackup restoring files is easy. Give us a call and we will restore the
backups for you, to your desired location through our remote utility Virtual
IT software.
