Users select files or file sets to send to Secure-ISS’s data storage centre. The
user interface is user friendly and feature rich. Backing up files is as simple
as a click of a button (at anytime) or through the set-up of a schedule which
automatically backs up at pre-determined intervals. Each time a backup is
performed your selected files are compressed and encrypted at the source, then transmitted to the data storage centre via a
secure virtual tunnel across the Internet.
Users have two options available in the setup wizard. The
first is to send files in their entirety each and every backup, and the
second is to use our patching technology. The patching technology only sends
the file differences from one version to the next, after the initial file
back-up. (Note: Secure-ISS Explorer Patching
technology uses local disk space for caching.) This reduces the overall network bandwidth and data
transmission requirements.
All data stored on the data storage centre remains
in a compressed and encrypted state. The files can only be accessed
using your unique username/ password and certificate authentication,
providing you with peace of mind that your data remains secure. In the
event that your password is forgotten or compromised, Secure-ISS staff
can reset the password but are unable to access the original password.
Secure-ISS’s data storage centres are equipped
with the latest HP equipment using RAID 5 technology. As an added
feature, your files are stored in two geographically separate locations.
In summary at any time Secure-ISS will have up to four copies of your
data.
