Infobox Backup it

Service of a hosting of backup copies (backups) - the "cloud" service received the name Backup it that can be translated as "Reserve it" or "Reserve IT".

At the moment services and programs for creation of backups have no wide circulation in the Russian market. The small number of the companies will organize a backup system independently, as a rule, using at the same time the commercial software, and individuals use different western online services which not always provide similar Backup it services the level of reliability and security. Some users periodically make copies of information on the flash drive or CD, and in the worst do not undertake anything and in case of loss of information try to recover it special programs that is not always successful, especially in a case with archives, databases and text files.

"Emergence of this service very timely because more and more information is stored personal computers and servers, in electronic form on hard drives. At the same time not everyone thinks of need of reservation of important information that, occasionally, leads to data loss forever. And if for the home user it is annoying trouble, then for the company it leads to real financial loss, and sometimes threatens all business", – the CEO of Infobox company Bakhtiarov Alexey comments on start of service, – "The new service will allow our clients to avoid the troubles connected with data loss. Backup it will provide automatic creation of backup copies of information and their safe storage on the Infobox servers".

Really, according to Home Office Computing Magazine, 31% of users of computers at least lost once all data. And 30% of entrepreneurs after loss of data stop activity within a year and 70% - within five years.

What data types the new service allows to reserve and for whom it is intended?

Corporate clients for reservation of the employees given on personal computers and servers which store business data – corporate correspondence, databases of clients and accounting programs, other important documentation can use service as home users for creation of backups of documents, media files, e-mail, system settings of the operating system, and. Copying of data from such popular business applications is supported, Microsoft Exchange Server as well as Microsoft SQL Server.

It is very simple to use service. For creation of backup copies it is necessary to set the Backup it client program on the computer or the server (there are versions for Windows, Mac OS and Linux), to select folders and files which backups need to be done and to set frequency of their creation. After that the program begins to create automatically backup copies according to the schedule and to send them to the server. In case of data loss, using the same program it is necessary to select files which need to be recovered and they will appear on the old place again.

"Technically, the solution Backup it constructed on a cluster running Windows Server 2008 R2 meets all modern requirements to creation of the systems of high availability and reliability" – the technical director of the company of Infobox Narmanov Rustam noted, – "We paid special attention to security to data transmission and ensuring confidentiality at information storage. These questions most of all concern our potential clients who consider a question of use of "cloud" technologies. And we propose the solution which provides the unprecedented level of confidentiality of data".

After creation of the backup copy, data are ciphered using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) by 128-or 256-bit technology of enciphering on client side unique key which is set by the user and is known only to it. Then there is data compression and their transfer on servers of provider on the protected SSL connection. At the same time every time goes to the server not the complete amount of data but only changes in them which are automatically detected by the Backup it program. In case of need recovery data are transferred back to the computer of the user and decrypted already on client side. Thanks to such scheme, nobody can decrypt and read information in storage time of data on servers of provider.
