Technology
- » We've layered state-of-the-art technology to keep your data completely secure.
- » Data is encrypted before it leaves your network.
- » Data is transmitted using 256-Bit AES Encryption and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technologies.
- » Your data is stored in encrypted format in our Dublin data centres.
- » Both of these are in turn mirrored with each other to ensure geographical distribution of your data.
- » Both facilities are secure and require photo id and security clearance to access.
- » We use only HP servers and HP MSA Storage arrays,our servers are connected to cisco powered, gigabit redundant BGP peered backbones. Ensuring 100% uptime and availability.
- » All facilities have fully redunant power, air conditioning, fire suppression technology and with Full network monitoring 24/7/365
BackupVault - "Secure, Robust, Reliable"
1. Secure 256-bit SSL communication
All communications between the BackupVault Backup Server and your computer are transported in a 256-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) channel. Although all your backup files travel through a public network (internet), eavesdroppers have no knowledge of what has been exchanged.
2. Backup are securely encrypted
All of your files are first zipped and encrypted with a your defined encrypting key before they are sent to the BackupVault backup server. To all people but you, your files stored on the BackupVault backup server are no more than some garbage files with random content.
3. We don't keep your encrypting key
The encryption key used to encrypt your files resides only on your computer and is known only to you. It is never transmitted anywhere across the network. If this key is lost, all backup files can never be recovered.
Reminder : Please make sure you write down you encryption key in a safe place where it will never be forgotten. Otherwise, you will never be able to recover your backup files.
4. Best encryption algorithm is used
Currently, the algorithm that we are using to encrypt your files is 256-bit Twofish. It is a block cipher designed by Counterpane Labs. It was also one of the five Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) finalists chosen by National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). It is subject to frequent public reviews, however no known successful attack against this algorithm has been reported.
5. Restrict access to data by IP addresses
You can also restrict access to your backup files from the set of IP addresses you defined. If someone tries to access your data from an IP address not on your defined list, their access will be denied. This additional security ensures backup files is not open to all location, even username and password are known.
