Secure Data Backup is a reliable and secure way of keeping backups of your important data on our servers. All your data is encrypted and therefore your privacy is assured. The backup is off-site and hence the service is an added insurance against an unexpected data loss.
How much does the service cost?
The service costs Lm5 per month (excluding VAT) for every 1 Gigabyte of storage that you require. You can keep any number of backups as you wish, you are billed Lm5 per month for each Gigabyte (or part of) that you use.
What advantages are there over a normal backup that I can take?
The advantages to a typical business are enormous: Secure Data Backup works like regular data backup software, but with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer it is backing up, Secure Data Backup online backup software sends the backup over the Internet, regular telephone lines, or other network connections to your online backup server safely offsite. It does this (usually) at night while computers are not being used. Backups can also be done on-demand, any time.
It is completely automatic. In fact, you may even forget it’s working. Most businesses put their lives on the line every night and don’t realize it. With businesses depending more and more on the data stored in their computers, proper backups are becoming much more critical.
Secure Data Backup accomplishes several essential steps that are often overlooked or done improperly by other backup software - especially in the regular non-automated backup systems.
Online Backups are done on schedule, reliably. Most businesses don’t do this. For one reason or another, they don’t keep a regular backup regimen. Usually it’s because the person responsible for doing backups (if there is one) is too busy doing something else, or someone is using the computer when it’s time for a backup, or they simply forget. Since remote backups are done with automated software usually at night, when nobody is using the computer, backups are always done on schedule.
The correct files are backed up. Ordinary backup software is often installed with a list of files to be backed up. This set of files usually represents the state of the system when the software was installed, and often misses critical files. Further, it often fails to back up files that get added later. Compounding this problem, VERY few businesses take the trouble to reset their backup software regularly to include new files. Secure Data Backup solves this problem by constantly re-evaluating the computer system, adding files to the backup as needed. Several full copies of files are stored using a sophisticated version control system unavailable in most other backup software of any kind. This is much too important to overlook. The general definition of “proper” backups requires redundancy. One must keep multiple copies of the same files at different points in their development, called versions. As an example, you should have a different copy of each backed-up file for each backup session. Further, you should be able to easily restore any of your files up to any given point in time. Banks do it, big corporations do it, and so should small businesses. Only Secure Data Backup has such an easy to use version control system.
Secure Data Backup Online Backups are encrypted for complete security. Tape backups are not generally encrypted, so anyone can read them and gain access to client database, billing records, payroll, tax info, and everything else on computers.
1. All files are protected by state of the art encryption, only YOU - the customer can retrieve your files
2. Completely automated off-site protection
3. Fast online recovery of any version of any protected file
4. Easy installation and setup
5. Only an internet connection is required, eliminating the need for expensive backup equipment and media
How does the system work?
Vanilla Telecoms operates an off-site storage facility for the your data. At the facility, an account is maintained for each user (including yourself). Each account is protected by a password and encryption key known only to the user!
We install our client software on your PC and set it up so that at a preset time, usually late at night, your computer automatically wakes up and prepares its data for backup. It determines which files have been modified since the last backup, compresses them, encrypts them for security and transmits the data to our servers.
