Secure Online Backup's desktop and laptop product (DL) is ideal for the small business or single user. It is easy to install and simple to use and it works automatically.

At a preset time every day, all changes to your information are collected within the DL software, compressed and encrypted. Your backup data is then transmitted offsite to our secure Primary Data Centre, (PDC) part of IBMs disaster recovery Building Continuity Services. A secondary backup copy can be replicated to our secondary data centres, securing full backup redundancy for you. You maintain access to these files at all times and, using a simple interface, can restore all or specific files in the event of any data loss.

Secure Online Backup uses Attix5 software, the market leader in the development of remote, managed, secure and user friendly backup and retrieval software.
