Our Most Important Job is to Keep Your Back Up Data Secure

Our Most Important Job is to Keep Your Data Secure

While most traditional backup systems do a good job of archiving data, they do little to actually secure it. A ZIP cartridge, CD or tape can easily be misplaced or stolen. Once in the wrong hands, your confidential data is easily compromised.

Fortunately, the Dr.Backup Remote Backup Service does not suffer from these shortcomings.

We secure your data through a combination of:

Data Encryption

Prior to leaving your PC, all of your valuable data is encrypted. By employing military-grade encryption technology, we make it virtually impossible for anybody to read your data - even if they were somehow able to physically intercept it. The data leaving your PC is completely protected at all times.

Our PC client software offers you the choice of six different encryption algorithms including DES, TDES (triple DES), AES 128, AES 192, AES 256 and Blowfish with a variable length key of up to 448 bits.

You alone are responsible for selecting and securing a private encryption key (password.) This key is loaded into the encryption software and used to backup or restore your data from the offsite data storage vault.

Without the key, nobody can read your data - not even the employees of Dr.Backup.

 

The Dr.Backup data vault is a purpose-built computer server. This server performs only one function - securing your data. Operating system software is mirrored on dual 9Gb disk drives. Your encrypted data files are stored on a Raid-5 storage array equipped with a hot standby disk drive, which is automatically activated in the event of a hard disk failure. Critical system components - including the power supply - are all spared onsite.

Sophisticated network port blocking and packet filtering techniques are used to prevent unauthorized access to the server. All failed attempts to access the server are logged and reviewed by the system administrator. Remote administration of the server is performed using remote terminal software over an encrypted management link.

End users do NOT have an operating system account on the server and can perform no tasks other than backup and restoration of encrypted data files.

 

Dr.Backup servers are collocated in a carrier-grade data center facility. All equipment is secured in a locked cage.

Security guards on premise provide 24x7 access control to the collocation facility. All visitors to the facility must be pre-authorized and escorted by a registered system administrator. Cameras and other security features are used to supplement the onsite security personnel.

Dr.Backup disk files are backed up nightly to another offsite backup server.

Testimonials

“I just wanted to tell you that I am less than a week into my free trial and your backup service has already saved me hours of work I would have totally lost otherwise. My entire website would have been a redo if it weren’t for the backup I did with your service yesterday. I have recouped the value of your YEARLY fee (and then some) with just that one restore! Thank you!”

"I just wanted to say how impressed I am with Doctor Backup! Once I got the hang of it (with your personal assistance I might add) the backup process is as smooth as silk. No more CDs, no more worrying about hard drive crashes, no more worrying about loss of critical data due to theft or fire! The NAEA Journal just ran their four page spread on the best office products. Next year, I plan to personally author a recommendation for Doctor Backup citing its ease of use and the high quality customer service I have received."
