Offsite Backup

Comments: 0

Backups stored offsite provide the highest level of data security, as they allow restoring your data after major disasters like floods, or when the office burns down. Backups stored on removable media (e.g. when you back up to DVD or external HDD) are less reliable, because they need to be kept beside the computer (to be able to quickly restore data). The most reliable approach to offsite backup is the use of remote FTP servers.

Offsite Backup Software

Offsite backup software is a utility that supports protocols for interchanging data with offsite PCs. Backups can be transferred over network, via FTP, or using secure connections, such as SFTP or FTPS. When choosing a utility for PC backups, it is important to remember several main features that are a "must" for any offsite backup software:

• Balance between backup automation and cost-effectiveness. The matter of remote backup always meets the same problem: on the one hand the more regular backups you make, the more security you receive, but at the same time the more data you transfer to the online server and the more time it requires, the more it costs. This can be optimized by such options as backup compression, filtering, incremental backup, de-duplication and other...
• Security. When you back up to offsite servers you always need to be sure that your backups are secure in terms of storage and connection. The utility should never send passwords as plain text, and employ solid backup encryption algorithms.
• Minimal data recovery time. Being able to restore data in case of a data loss event as quickly as possible is also of great importance.

All the necessary features are implemented in Handy Backup offsite backup software for Windows.
