How Secure Offsite Data Backup Is Done

Background Of Offsite Data Backup

Unlike regular data backup, offsite data backup is done by sending the data encrypted over the internet to a secure data center where the data will be safely kept offsite. This process is completely automated without the need for human intervention and is usually done conveniently at night time when the client computers are not being used. Clients also have the option to securely backup their data on-demand at any time.

Steps To Secure Offsite Data Backup

1. First, special backup software is installed on the client computer.
2. The data is safely encrypted and compressed while still on the client's computer.
3. The encrypted data is then sent over a secure connection to the Internet to a secure offsite data center.
4. Finally, when the client chooses to retrieve the data it comes back still encrypted. This ensures that the data can only be read by its genuine owner.
