offsite backup

Description and Features

An online backup storage system is usually implemented to prevent, if not completely eliminate, data loss risks due to file, theft, corruption, natural disaster and other similar events. Use of such system typically gives you access to a client software program designed to run a scheduled data backup process, generally once in a day. Such applications are primarily built to first collect the data, encrypt it and finally transfer it to a remotely placed server. If you are availing a high-speed Internet connection together with a Web browser interface, the data stored in this way might appear as if has been placed and stored on an external storage media connected to your system. Some of the typical features that such services provide are:

Data encryption (Transfer and end-to-end) and password protection Online data access Multi-platform support, like Windows, Linux, Macintosh and others Data compression Reliable data retention
