Online Backup And Storage

COMPUTERS etc Remote Backup is integrated directly into Microsoft Windows based systems, utilizing familiar environments, such as My Computer and Windows Explorer. The service is intuitively easy to use and fully automated. As soon as you power on your machine, Gillware Remote Backup has you protected.

In addition to the remote backup, the software can be configured to keep a local copy of mission critical data. In the event of a non-catastrophic failure, data can be restored instantly with the redundant copy of data stored locally on a designated path.

COMPUTERS etc Data Services goes the extra mile to ensure critical data is being backed up. Audit files and backup logs are reviewed periodically and cross-referenced against the data currently selected for backup. Any discrepancies are discussed with the client and the appropriate changes to their backup schedule are made.

In certain situations, the amount of time required to backup an initial set of data over the Internet is too high to make remote backup practical. To address this problem, COMPUTERS etc Remote Backup has a "seed" backup feature that allows data to be backed up to a local hard-drive and then taken to COMPUTERS etc Data Services where it will be imported into the backup servers. After the seed backup set is imported, the client's machine will begin backing up changed data files over the Internet. Seed backups are available for an additional fee.

If a client's system fails and a large amount of data needs to be restored quickly, a copy of the client's backup set can be shipped on an external hard-drive to avoid downloading large amounts of data from the backup server. Charges and processing time for this service vary depending on
the amount of data to be transferred. Individual files and folders can be restored online while waiting for the external hard-drive to arrive.

Backups are initiated automatically. The user determines what files, folders, and file types to back up and how often backups occur. Gillware Remote Backup does the rest.

The user determines how many revisions of each file to store on COMPUTERS etc Data Services servers.

After the initial backup of a file, only the changes made to that file are sent to COMPUTERS etc servers for backup. This significantly reduces the amount of data that has to be transmitted over the Internet, preserving your bandwidth for other uses. What's more, depending on your needs, COMPUTERS etc Remote Backup can be configured to utilize different variations of the differential feature, either a light weight algorithm or in tandem with the local copy feature

Data is encrypted prior to transmission and remains encrypted while on COMPUTERS etc Data Services backup servers
