Your Data Is Safe With Us.

At Off Site Back Up we take security very seriously.

We go to great lengths to protect your data against loss, and to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

Physical Server Security:

We house our servers in Launceston best document storage locations. This provides a host of benefits:

- Only a handfull of people have access to the main building. Building goes into complete lockdown outside business hours.

- Only authorised personnel have access to the server room .

- Server room always as someone in the room during standard business hours.

- All equipment is powered via Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).

- Very Early Smoke Detection Alarms.

Protection against Un-Authorised Data Access:

- Your data files are encrypted before they leave your office using the latest high-strength 128 bit and 256 bit encryption.

- Your files remain encrypted at all times on our system. They only time the are decrypted is at your machine during a restore.

- Even our recovery DVDs and restore disks store the data in its encrypted state.

- The encryption key is known only to yourself and to our staff. 

- If your data is particularly sensitive you can choose your own secret encryption key, and you do not need to give us your secret encryption key.  Then not even our staff can access your data. (Of course, if you lose your secret encryption key, we will be completely unable to help you regain access to your data).

Protection against Server Malfunction:

- Our servers are built for performance and reliability. Our Primary Server and our Secondary Backup utilise enterprise-level components, including Error-Correcting (E.C.C.) Memory.  RAID-5 Disk Arrays with Hot-Spares are used to protect against hard disk drive failure .

- Our servers perform Automatic Archiving. When you backup to our Primary Server, a backup copy of your data is transferred to our Secondary Backup in real time. Not at the end of the day, or at the weekend, but immediately. Our Secondary Backup maintains a unique archiving system that allows us to restore any data on the Primary Server to its last known state, or to any of a number of snapshots from previous days and weeks.
