How Remote Backup Works

Remote Backup has many advanced features. It is the most mature product of its kind, the acknowledged industry leader. Remote Backup runs on all versions of 32-bit Windows, including Windows-95, 98, NT, 2000, 2003, ME, and XP. It works with all networks, including Novell Netware and all Windows networks.

After you install Remote Backup, you will simply leave your computer on at night. Remote Backup "hides" in the background without interfering with any other program. You will notice the Remote Backup icon on the System Tray.

At a predetermined time, Remote Backup "wakes up" and determines which files need backing up, and what kind of backup (out of three possibilities) is scheduled for that night. It then compresses those files into archives that can in many cases be only 10% to 20% of the original file sizes. These archives are then encrypted using an encryption key known only to you.

After your files are compressed and encrypted, Remote Backup activates your Internet connection, modem or other communications device and sends your files off-site to your Service Provider's storage facility. Remote Backup then verifies your files and goes back to sleep.

Your valuable computer files are now safe off-site. If your building burns, or your computer is stolen, your business can be saved by replacing your equipment and restoring your files from the Remote Backup Server.
