Backup to SFTP Means Secure Backup

Handy Backup offers its users a reliable method of secure backup - SFTP backup. With SFTP backup there is no need to worry about your data protection.

While data are transferred to a remote location, which is the case with backup, they may be exposed to different threats on the way to destination such as sniffers, hacking attempts, data interception and so on. To avoid data theft of data garbling a secure protocol of data transfer such as SFTP should be used.

SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol designed by the IETF to provide secure file transfer and manipulation facilities over the secure shell (SSH) protocol. The SFTP does not provide data security by itself, as it is commonly assumed; instead it refers to the lower level protocol such as SSH to encrypt the transferred data.

Benefits of SFTP backup:

• Passwords are never transferred as plain text, which prevents hacker attacks and the use of sniffers
• Data are encrypted while being transferred, making any interception and garbling a lot more difficult

With Handy Backup you will be able to backup to SFTP server. Secure your data while transferring it!
