Backup Data Security Overview

We've layered state-of-the-art technology to keep your data completely secure.

Data is bank-level AES encrypted before leaving your computer, then transmitted and stored in that same encrypted format. No one can access your data without your Personal Encryption Key, not even us.

Level 4 Data Center Security

  • Our two mirrored, Telco-class data centers are separated by 1,100 miles, in ultra-secure private limestone mines located 100-200 feet below ground.
  • Each has redundant bandwidth using multiple fiber-optic providers.
  • All data received by either hardened Data Center is immediately replicated to its mirror — connected by point-to-point, high-speed WAN links
  • Traffic is load-balanced between the two sites, eliminating degraded system performance
  • High performance HP Servers & Cisco / Nokia firewall security
  • Each server platform has fail over and redundancy, continuous server monitoring and performance tuning, assuring that storage capacity is never exceeded.

  • Best-practices networking and best-of-breed routers, switches, firewalls, servers, facilities infrastructure, power grids and telecommunications circuits are all deployed with backup components to maximize fail over and redundancy
  • Failed account access attempts are logged and reviewed to prevent unauthorized access

Data Loss Risks

Remote Data Backups provides the best solution for safeguarding your computer against a full range of common data loss and system failure risks including:

  • Technical Disasters: Computer viruses & worms, hard drive crash & failure, PC power failure, backup media degradation, system updates, service packs, etc.
  • Human Disasters: Accidental changes or deletions, theft (especially laptops), disgruntled employees, etc.
  • Natural Disasters: Fire, flood, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, lightning, solar flares, freaks of nature, etc.
  • Laptop Disasters: Laptops can easily overheat, suffer hard drive failures or power outages, and are frequently dropped and damaged, lost and stolen.

Traditional backup methods (Tape, Zip & External Drives, CDs & DVDs) are tedious and time-consuming, and can't reliably protect your data against all these common data loss risks -- only RDB can!
