How does Online Backup work?
The PerfectBackup offsite backup software runs a daily fully automated offsite backup of your important files and data. This allows you to dedicate your valuable time to your business instead of your daily data backup.
After the simple installation of the software you select the files and/or directories with important data. You'll only have to do this the first time, but it's possible to change the selection later on when needed.
The first time a full offsite backup will be made from the selected files. After encryption and compression these are sent to the PerfectBackup offsite servers for save storage through a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)connection.
From that moment on, a daily (incremental) backup will be made of all new and changed files. This on a time of the day determined by yourself.
After each backup you'll receive an e-mail notification with a detailed report of your backup. If the PerfectBackup servers didn't receive your scheduled backup you'll be notified as well.
Your files will be stored twice at different locations to ensure that there's always a copy available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
