Scheduling a backup with
virtualTapedrive is only a matter of choosing the kind of backup you
want to perform and selecting the files you want to store.
Except for routine backups, which are sent at a specific time each
day, all backups are sent immediately. When multiple backups are being
processed they are sent in priority order: Critical, Shared, Snapshot,
Routine and Archive.

To access our storage
service you must register your computer with either a soft key file or
one of the two digital electronic keys that we optionally provide.
These keys, in combination with your PIN numbers and user account will
take a fingerprint of your computer and attach it to your account.
Before they leave your
computer, your files are compressed and encrypted. Then they are sent
through an encrypted communications channel to our storage site.

Your files will remain
encrypted until you retrieve them and restore them to a computer
registered to your account. virtualTapedrive can simultaneously backup
and restore files, and operate with out a user being logged in.
To get permission to
connect to the storage site, your computer must contact our security
server and receive an access token. This token gives your computer
access to the storage servers for a brief period of time.

When you schedule a backup
virtualTapedrive stores two copies of your files on separate servers
at our secure storage site. In addition, a third copy is stored at our
archive site to provide for maximum availability. |
