Secure Backup

Backup security is one of the most important criteria considered for data backup software. Capability to make secure backups is claimed by all types of computer users: from individuals who want to keep personal information safe to large businesses that need to protect commercial data from unauthorized access.

Four Constituents of Secure Backup

Maximum backup security can be reached by accurate observance of four aspects:

• Secure backup storage. Different media provide different levels of safety. It's easy to use some software to back up data to a set of DVD discs, and it can work well however, DVD backups are usually stored in the same office and don’t provide adequate protection from fire or flood. Many companies consider storing backups offsite, on a secure remote server accessed via FTP or SFTP.
• Data availability. It is important to be able to restore your data from any media whenever you need. If you use a backup service that copies data to an online backup server, it must be available and provide stable access to your data 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
• Backup transferring security. For most valuable and sensitive data you may want to use a secure transferring method, e.g. SFTP protocol. Learn how to backup to SFTP with Handy Backup...
• Encryption. To protect your files from being accessed and restored by incompetent people you may want to enable backup encryption.
