Online Backup, Remote Offsite Data Back-up via Internet

Security Online Backup

Security is highly valued at PerfectBackup so you won't have to worry about your valuable information. Your data is sent compressed and encrypted via a SSL connection to the highly secure datacenter where it's savely stored in duplicate (on 2 different locations). Every offsite backup user can limit the online access to his data to a predefined list of IP-addresses.

Access

The encryption key which you generate yourself is only known by you and will never be sent through the internet. If you loose your encryption key your backup will be lost forever! The content of your backup is absolutely unreadable for PerfectBackup despite the fact that PerfectBackup has acces to the encrypted files stored on the backup server.

Always keep your encryption key in a save place!

Without the encryption key NOBODY will be able to restore your backup. This includes PerfectBackup and the software developers!

Connection

To establish the secure connection PerfectBackup uses a SSL connection. This protocol is similar to the one that banks use for online banking. Despite the fact that your data are submitted via the internet it's impossible for people who intercept it to read the content.
