The Backup Process
How does the online backup process work?

Backup Process

 

 

Very simply, the first time you backup your data, all of your selected files are copied to the Backups4All secure servers. On each subsequent backup, only new files and changes to existing files are copied to the servers. This significantly saves backup time as typically only a small percentage of files are changed on any given day. All data is secured and encrypted using the latest encryption technologies.

The Backups4All servers provide reliable storage for user backup data, profiles and backup configurations. Moreover, the integrity of the backup data is closely monitored. Furthermore, the system keeps track of the usage information, quotas and activities of each user, as well as system activities and exceptions. This comprehensive operational information makes user and system administration much simpler. In addition, extensive email alerts keep Backups4All system administrators informed about system health, and keep users updated on the status of their backups and restores.

Stable and proven technology

Unlike traditional backup approaches, Backups4All requires absolutely no human involvement to complete the whole backup operation, thus ensuring that your data is always backed up and free from human error.

The Backups4All service is based on software which is in use by thousands of users worldwide. It has been proven to work well over many years. Using Backups4All gives you peace of mind insurance because you are using one of the most stable and popular data protection systems in the world.

Previously this type of online backup facility has only been available to large businesses running their own data centres. With the advent of Internet broadband technology, anybody can now take advantage of the levels of security and convenience this service provides without investing heavily in their own IT data centre infrastructures.

Secure

All data backed up using Backups4All is encrypted using an encryption key (pass phrase) of your choosing which is known only to you and trusted colleagues.

Only you and anybody you have shared your encryption key with can access your data.

Even Backups4All staff cannot read your data.

Set and forget

Using Backups4All, your files will be backed up automatically and regularly (as defined by you but typically on a daily basis) to our secure servers via the Internet. All data is compressed and encrypted before it leaves your computer so nobody other than you can read it.

Each time the backup runs you will be sent an email containing details of the backup operation such as time of backup, which files were backed up and any error notifications.

Your data will be available to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year anywhere in the world via the installed application or the web interface.
