Dr.Backup is an online computer backup service. Using an existing Internet connection, encrypted copies of your most critical data are copied to a secure remote storage vault. This is usually done automatically each night, on schedule, without end-user intervention.

In the event of data loss, this process is reversed and missing data is retrieved (restored) from the storage vault and returned to your computer.

Many clients depend exclusively on Dr.Backup for their daily backups. Others use the service as a complement to their local tape, CD/DVD, or hard disk backups. Dr.Backup protects you against physical threats such as fire, flood and theft - something a local backup simply cannot do.

Medical professionals frequently use Dr.Backup to help comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulations. (HIPAA).
