Online Backup Overview Get advantages by using new technology

     Online Backup is a technology that arrived with the Internet, and it gives you the same advantages as using an ISP: instead of buying your own storage hardware and worrying about your backup protection, you can buy storage space from an Online Backup Service Provider, and pay much less.  Online Backup is ideal for individuals, mobile users, and small companies.

     General conditions of a successful Online Backup are:

1. Reliable Backup Service Provider.

        You have to trust in the reliability of your provider. This is important, because that is who stores your files. Encryption can prevent any access to the content of your files, but NOTHING, except a professional provider can prevent their loss because of human error. This does not mean at all that it is a usual situation, but you can't risk the loss of your files.

2. Good client software

        As a minimum, backup software must backup, compress, encrypt, and send your files. But the ideal solution also ought to resolve the biggest problem of an Online Backup: the lengthy amount of time necessary to upload and download files. Of course, Storage Manager has the solution to resolve that problem:
   
   

   • The combination of the Revolutionary Patch technology, and built-in compression, reduces the size of the backup archive by 80-90%.
     
     
   • Powerful split options make it possible to restore corrupted or deleted files in a few minutes.  Storage Manager automatically detects volumes which contain those files, and downloads them from the Online Storage.
     
     
   • In the event of a crash, you have to restore all files. Many providers provide a CD-delivery service (for example: they send a CD to you every month). The built-in possibility to restore files directly from a CD reduces restore time, and avoids any stupid copy operations. Moreover, if you haven't a CD, you can quickly restore the most important files (see above) and continue your work. Later you may download and restore other files.
     
     
   • Storage Manager provides powerful encryption of your files.
