How it Works

Your-Data Internet Backup is an automatic online data backup service for you and your business that utilises your existing links to send backup data to our secure Datacentre based in the UK.

The benefits of Your-Data can help you significantly reduce your costs by "out sourcing" daily backups to us.  You will never have to buy a backup tape ever again!

Here is how the service works . . .

1. Easy Roll Out

Installation is quick and painless - a simple, intuitive client is installed on the machine to be protected - this means you set, and forget!

2. Automated

Backups can be scheduled to run unattended at a particular time or frequency - this virtually eliminates your backup window.

3. Secure

All data that is backed up is secured through the highest levels of encryption available - whilst being sent and also whilst being stored.  This means you no longer have to spend money on off site tape couriers and storage.

4. Networked

Backup single or multiple laptops, desktops, or servers - it doesn't matter where the user or office is geographically providing you have Internet access.

No more worries about who is and who isn't backing up and no more hardware and software at home or other offices.

5. Online

Your data is available at our Datacentre anytime you need to get access to it, day or night, 24/7, 365 days per year - no need to involve off site tape couriers or staff taking tapes home.

6. Disk-to-disk

Backups are held on disk for designated periods, enabling faster recovery, before being archived to tape for long term storage.  This gives you improved backup speed and data integrity verification.

7. Incremental

Only files that have been modified or added since the last backup will be identified for backup by Your-Data - this means your backups are bandwidth efficient.

8. Progressive

The backup server is able to update only files that have changed - this means every recovery is a full, updated file.

9. Web access

Even when you are not at your own computer your data is accessible via the web - this means if you need your data at any time, you can get to it wherever you are.

10. Single Monthly Charge

You get charged a simple, monthly predictable fee based on the amount of storage you requested.  This means that if you exceed your storage limit, you just buy more based on your needs - no more frantic phone calls to buy tapes.
