Secure Backup to SFTP

Comments: 0

Backup to SFTP image

Backup to SFTP is the most reliable method of data protection, as it involves a remote SFTP backup server (which eliminates risks of "local" data loss due to fire, theft, etc.) and secure network connection. Designed by IETF, SFTP provides secure file transfer and manipulation facilities over the secure shell (SSH) protocol which makes it perfect for sensitive data backups.

While data is transferred to a remote location, which is the case of FTP backup or Online backup, it may be exposed to different threats, such as sniffers, hacking attempts, data interception and other. To avoid theft or garbling of data on the way to its destination, you need to use a secure data transferring protocol. This is when backing up to SFTP will be your best choice.

Benefits of SFTP Backup

There are two primary benefits of SFTP backup:

  • Your passwords are never transferred as plain text. This prevents hacker attacks and the use of sniffers, so you may be confident that your sensitive data on an SFTP backup server can be accessed by you alone.
  • Your data is encrypted while being transferred, enormously complicating any attempts of interception and garbling. This means that you will be able to restore backup from SFTP intact if something happens to the original data.
