Internet Backup

Internet Backup works like regular data backup software, but with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer it is backing up. iceBackup's, remote backup software sends the backup over the Internet, regular telephone lines, or other network connections to your online backup server safely offsite. It does this (usually) at night while computers are not being used. Backups can also be done on-demand, any time.

Internet Backup software accomplishes several essential steps that are often overlooked or done improperly by other backup software - especially in the regular non-automated backup systems.

Using our Remote Backup software over the Internet you can guarantee the correct files are backed up. Ordinary backup software is often installed with a list of files to be backed up. This set of files usually represents the state of the system when the software was installed, and often misses critical files. Further, it often fails to back up files that get added later. Compounding this problem, VERY few businesses take the trouble to reset their backup software regularly to include new files.

The backups that are send through internet are encrypted for complete security. Tape backups are not generally encrypted, so anyone can read them and gain access to client database, billing records, payroll, tax info, and everything else on computers. Put it this way, I would love to find a backup tape of my competitor's information!
