Dell's Datasafe Online Backup Encryption
One of the easiest and most reliable methods of data backup is online off-site remote backup like Datasafe Online Backup. For data backup novices, this means that using a secure Internet connection, designated data stored on your computer's hard drive is copied and stored on a different server at a distant location. This way, your valuable data is protected in the case of virtually any cause of data loss - from your hard drive being corrupted by a virus to it being completely destroyed by a natural disaster. Online backup is also convenient, as it eliminates the need for storage media such as CD's, floppy disks or tapes.
In the past, online backup was primarily used by businesses that utilized massive amounts of valuable data. Fairly recently, Dell has been pioneering online backup to be used by regular folks for their personal desktop and laptop computers with Datasafe Online Backup.
Dell provides a 30-day free trial of Datasafe Online Backup with 3 GB of storage. After the trial period, customers can choose to purchase one of six service packages, ranging from 3 to 100 GB of backup storage, for $9 to $119 per year.
One of the benefits of Datasafe Online Backup beyond the obvious protection of your files from a myriad of disasters is how easy it is to select and schedule files for backup. The automated system will give your computer continuous protection and give you peace of mind and the freedom to enjoy your PC to the fullest. You can also rest easy knowing that your personal files are not only backed up, but remain private. Datasafe Online Backup stores files with Advanced Encryption Standard 256-bit encryption, and files are sent from your computer to the Datasafe Online Backup system with Secure Sockets Layer 128-bit encryption. One of the few drawbacks of Datasafe Online Backup is that it is only for use with Dell computers. If you own a different brand of computer, you must either contact that company and request information on their present or future plans to provide their customers with online backup, or replace it with a new Dell computer. You must also keep in mind that you cannot save your entire hard drive using Datasafe Online Backup. For example, if my hard drive contains 150 GB of data at full capacity, I can only protect up to two-thirds of that data with Datasafe Online Backup. Remember that Datasafe Online Backup is not meant to protect your entire hard drive, but only the data that you designate as most important. Overall, Datasafe Online Backup is a simple, easy, and economical way for general consumers to safeguard their computer data. Anyone who owns a PC likely knows the horror of losing data that cost valuable time and money to acquire. Datasafe Online Backup can help prevent consumers from further having to bear such an unpleasant experience.
