Secure online data backup is becoming an increasingly popular solution for both
businesses wishing to protect their critical data, and home users wanting to
protect valuable documents, digital photos and music. In a nutshell, Electronic
Data Vaulting (EDV) provides automated off-site backup, archive and retrieval
of data for servers, desktops and laptops.
Businesses have historically relied on tape backup systems. These systems have
their limitations: tapes must be cycled, transported offsite, are prone to error
and must be handled and stored carefully. Cybase can provide a robust alternative
backup solution preventing your business from ever losing information whatever
the size of your company, wherever it operates. The data backup service we offer
automatically stores company critical data off-site via high-speed communication
links in a secure vault. Retrieval of data is simple - and fast. And it is
available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Using a custom built software solution, you can perform backups of individual
machines, networked machines and laptops as regularly as you want. The data is
first compressed and encrypted on your machine, then sent to server facilities at
2 separate UK locations.
Here's a summary of the benefits of the system:
- Your data is immediately and safely transferred offsite
- Data can be backed-up from any number of machines
- Your data can be accessed anywhere in the world 24/7
- We can send recovered data to you on CD or DVD
- There is no limit to the amount of storage available to you
- Backup monitoring service available
- Data can initially be transferred via CD or DVD
- Full telephone support available
Requirements
The client software is based on the Java development language which
is compatible with most operating systems and has been successfully
tested with the following operating systems: Linux, Windows 2000/XP
and Mac OS X. Use of the Java system means that the software should run
under any flavour of Linux/Unix or Windows system.
The software communicates with the server through HTTPS over TCP/IP.
Any connection to the Internet that supports this protocol is therefore
required. For performance reasons and to get the full benefit of the
software, we recommend the use of at least an ADSL 512kbit/s connection.

All data sent to and from the backup servers is transmitted using SSL
(secure socket layer) technology with the HTTPS protocol. The data is
encrypted prior to transmission using a 128-bit encryption algorithm
with optional client authentication. On initial registration you are
supplied with a unique authentication password which identifies you to
the backup servers. Once your data has arrived at our servers, it is
stored in a compressed and encrypted form.
