Safebyte Pro Overview
Safebyte is an online computer backup service. Using an existing Internet connection, it transfers encrypted copies of your most critical data to a secure remote storage vault. This is usually done automatically each night, on schedule, without end-user intervention.
In the event of data loss, this process is reversed and missing data is retrieved (restored) from the storage vault and returned to your computer.
Many clients depend exclusively on Safebyte for their daily backups. Others use the service as a complement to their local tape or CD/DVD backups. In these cases, only the most critical data files (financial records, customer lists, etc.) are identified and backed up offsite. This better protects the client against physical threats such as fire, flood and theft.
Safebye Pro is the choice for processionals with networked computers, servers and larger data needs.
Implementing Safebyte is generally straightforward. The initial step is the installation of the online backup client software. Next, a backup set is created and important files and/or folders are identified. Finally, a backup schedule is selected. From that point forward, backups generally occur automatically, on schedule, without end-user intervention.
The initial transfer of data to the Safebyte storage vault can sometimes take an extended time period. However, after a full baseline of data is transferred, subsequent backup jobs finish quicker - since they capture only files that have changed since the previous run. At the conclusion of each backup, an electronic mail message it sent which contains the results of the job.
Many clients start with a 30-day, fully functional, free trial of the service. At the conclusion of the trial, if the customer agrees to continue with the service, payment information is required.
