Data Encryption

Many times when data is exchanged electronically the privacy of the data is a requirement. The use of encryption restricts unintended recipients from viewing the data, which are deemed confidential and potentially dangerous if made known to irresponsible parties.

Today, encryption is the procedure of transforming plaintext, data that can be read by anyone, to ciphertext, data that can only be read by someone with a secret decryption key.

After you have selected all the data you want protected, and set a backup schedule, you set the OffSite Backup system run in the background. OffSite Backup runs unattended and is usually set to run at times when the computational requirements of the data encryption and compression routines will not adversely affect computer performance.

Data security is a major concern to everyone here at OffSite Backup, and is even more so to clients. OffSite Backup has addressed the issue of protecting data by using a very sophisticated compression and encryption system. Using two distinct layers of protection, each with its own encryption technology, the data encryption and compression routines used by OffSite Backup are virtually impenetrable.
