SJC's Remote Backup Software works like regular data backup software, but with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer it is backing up, SJC's online backup software sends the backup over the Internet, regular telephone lines, or other network connections to your online backup server safely offsite. It does this (usually) at night while computers are not being used. Backups can also be done on-demand, any time.

It is completely automatic. In fact, you may even forget it's working. Most businesses put their lives on the line every night and don't realize it. With businesses depending more and more on the data stored in their computers, proper backups are becoming much more critical.

SJC's Online Backup software accomplishes several essential steps that are often overlooked or done improperly by other backup software - especially in the regular non-automated backup systems.

Online Backups are done on schedule, reliably. Most businesses don't do this. For one reason or another, they don't keep a regular backup regimen. Usually it's because the person responsible for doing backups (if there is one) is too busy doing something else, or someone is using the computer when it's time for a backup, or they simply forget. Since remote backups are done with automated software usually at night, when nobody is using the computer, backups are always done on schedule.

The correct files are backed up. Ordinary backup software is often installed with a list of files to be backed up. This set of files usually represents the state of the system when the software was installed, and often misses critical files. Further, it often fails to back up files that get added later. Compounding this problem, VERY few businesses take the trouble to reset their backup software regularly to include new files.

SJC's Online Backup Software solves this problem by constantly reevaluating the computer system, adding files to the backup as needed. Several full copies of files are stored using a sophisticated version control system unavailable in most other backup software of any kind. This is much too important to overlook.

The general definition of "proper" backups requires redundancy. One must keep multiple copies of the same files at different points in their development, called versions. As an example, you should have a different copy of each backed-up file for each backup session. Further, you should be able to easily restore any of your files up to any given point in time. Banks do it, big corporations do it, and so should small businesses. Only SJC Offsite Backup has such an easy to use version control system.

SJC's Online Backups are encrypted for complete security. Tape backups are not generally encrypted, so anyone can read them and gain access to client database, billing records, payroll, tax info, and everything else on computers.

SJC's Online Backup Software encrypts its backups using your choice of eight of the strongest cryptographic methods in the world for complete security so nobody, not even the SJC Computing, can read the files.

Finally and most importantly - Backups are immediately sent offsite and stored safely away from the clients' computers and their businesses. This is where almost every business makes its biggest mistake. Even if they do everything else perfectly, backups are of little use if their building burns, or they are unable to physically recover their tapes from the premises. Most small companies who do backups leave the tapes in the building with the computer, where they can be destroyed right along with the computer.

Of course, you can see that this would be a problem in a fire or flood or an earthquake. But it's also useful in emergencies where businesses are forced to evacuate their offices quickly. Even businesses that do backups and have good, undamaged tapes have to shut down. Many go out of business simply because they don't have access to their data.

SJC's Offsite Backup Software solves this problem by automatically storing this valuable data at more than one site. So, a business can be back up and running with new computers and their latest data no matter what catastrophe happens.

Our sofware runs on all versions of Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, ME, 2000, and 2003.It supports all networks that run with these operating systems. Some of the functions operate differently on different operating systems, and some advanced features may not be available on all operating systems.

 

Some features include:

Microsoft Exchange 2003 / 2007 / 2010 Support

SJC Remote Backup backs up Exchange Server at the sub-mailbox level, incrementally. The first backup is usually big, but thereafter, only new messages and other objects are backed up. This feature works only on the computer running Exchange.

SQL Server 2005 / 2008 Support

SJC Remote Backup backs up multiple instances of Microsoft SQL Server running on the same computer that has SJC Remote Backup installed.

System State, Active Directory

SJC Remote Backup can back up System State and Active Directory on the same computer running SJC Remote Backup.

Open Files

SJC Remote Backup can back up files that are open and locked by other applications. This feature operates only on files that are on the same computer SJC Remote Backup runs on.

Encryption

SJC Remote Backup supports these encryption standards and bit lengths. The multi-encryption feature makes SJC Remote Backup the most secure backup software available.

DES 56 bits
TDES (Triple DES) 168 bits
Rijndael AES (new US Federal Standard) 128 bits
Rijndael AES 192 bits
Rijndael AES 256 bits (most secure)
Blowfish variable key length to 448 bits
Secure Key Generator Clients can enter their own Encryption Key, or they can use FD Backup's Key Generator. The Key Generator creates "statistically perfect" encryption keys that are much more secure than human users can create.

Mapped drives

Allows for files on other computers in your network to be backed up without the need to install a second client.

Bigger Backups

Unlimited file size and count. SJC Remote Backup supports backing up hundreds of thousands of files per Backup Set, and file sizes in the terabytes. (one thousand gigabytes)

Disaster Recovery System

Clients should make sure their Encryption Keys and Passwords are safe. But, just in case they don't, FD Backup's Disaster Recovery System makes it easier to restore them from Key Disks that can be generated by the Client.

Copy to Disk

Onsite backups can be done to a series of CDs or external drives at the Client, usually as first full backups. CDs or drives are transported to the Server location and copied onto the Server. It's faster than online backups which may not be practical for large full backups.

Scheduled Start Date

Allows scheduling a Backup Set to launch at a future date.
