We operate an off-site storage facility for the user's data. At the facility, an account is maintained for each user. Each account is protected by a password know only to the user!
The electronic vault system is set up so that at preset time, usually late at night the clients computer automatically prepares its data for backup, it determines which files have been modified since the last backup, compresses them, encrypts them for security. When the data is ready the computer uses its modem or internet connection to contact our servers and transmit the data.
Our Servers verify and store the data. The next morning the backup is transferred to tape. You can rest assured that your data is safe because it is stored off-site.
