Creating Secure Online Backups
Today, many pc users are storing files on the Internet by using some free online storage service. While these online locations can easily be used to store backups as well, you should be very careful when sending sensitive documents and emails across the Internet. Since bandwidth and storage space is often limited, you should also consider compressing the data before sending it to a remote server.
Encryption
When transmitting private information across public networks like the Internet, some kind of encryption is absolutely critical. Because the internet consists of millions of computers connected together by an incredibly amount of wire, satellite and radio connections, there is no way of knowing who will be listening to your datastreams as they are transmitted across the network. The only way to ensure that no one will be able to access your data is to encrypt the datastream before it leaves your computer. Sometimes this is done by your browser using secure connections, but to ensure that the data is always encrypted your should encrypt the files yourself. WinBackup allows you to encrypt backups using up to 256 bit AES encryption, making it virtually impossible for anyone to access the
contents of your online backups. Since encryption is performed on-the-fly backup operations will be performed quickly and easily even when use strong encryption is used. To create an online backup using WinBackup you simply select an appropriate security level and start the backup. The result will be a single compressed and encrypted file than can safely be transmitted to your online backup location.
Compression
When sending backups across the Internet to an online location compression is often necessary to reduce the size of the backup file. Since online storage is often limited compression will also allow you to backup more data without running out of storage space. WinBackup features a fully multi-threaded encryption and compression engine than encrypts and compresses your files in parallel for maximum performance. Backups can often be reduced by 50% or more using efficient compression and some text documents and emails might be reduced by up to 90%. This will allow you to transfer large backups even over a relatively slow modem connection and will allow most users to create online backups quickly and easily.
