How does it work?

System Backup is a software application that installs easily and cleanly on your computer or server. Once the software is installed, just open the application and select the files you want to back up. System Backup will automatically compress and encrypt your data, and then use your internet connection to send your files offsite to our enterprise-grade data center facilities where it is safe and secure from any computer problem such as a computer crash, a virus, a fire, a bad hard drive, etc.

How secure is System Backup?

Very secure. System Backup uses the newer, safer AES encryption standard. No other encryption algorithm has received more scrutiny than the Rijndael cipher used in AES. It has been examined extensively and is certified by the NSA as suitable for the encryption of documents classified TOP SECRET. In other words, your files and other data are pretty much unreadable. Your files are then transferred to the System Backup servers through a secure 128-bit SSL tunnel to our data center. The data center facilities are monitored 24/7. This combination of safeguards represents the industry standard for safe and secure data transfer to an offsite facility.
