Secure 128-bit SSL communication
All communications between your computer and BackupRight are transported in a 128-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.
Secure and encrypted backup data
All of your files are first zipped and encrypted with your defined encrypting key before they are sent to BackupRight. To all people but you, your files stored by BackupRight are no more than some garbage files with random content.
A more detailed explanation would be that, using the BackupRight software you can setup and manage all of your backup needs. Using the backup set wizard you can create backups of your files, folders, system state, MySQL/Oracle/MS SQL databases, MS Exchange.
The security of your data is protected from the moment your backup begins. First your files are compressed before being transmitted over a secure SSL connection to our servers. Once they are stored on our servers, all of which are redundant, the files are encrypted using the same technology employed by most banks to protect customer data. This means that not only can we not see the data that is being backed up, but neither can anyone else. These encrypted files are protected with the encryption key (password) that you select, and cannot be recovered without it.
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 not be recovered. Therefore, although we have access to all files you stored on our backup server, we have no knowledge of the content of the files you stored.
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.
Best encryption available
The algorithm that we are using to encrypt your files is 128-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 subjects to frequent public reviews but no known attack against this algorithm has been reported.
Restrict access to your data by IP address
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.
