Our Most Important Job is to Secure Your Data

While most traditional backup systems do a good job of archiving data, they do little to actually secure it. A ZIP cartridge, CD or tape can easily be misplaced or stolen. Once in the wrong hands, your confidential data is easily compromised.

Fortunately, the FIT Backup Remote Backup Service does not suffer from these shortcomings.

We secure your data through a combination of:

• Data Encryption
  
• Network Protection

Data Encryption

Prior to leaving your PC, all of your valuable data is encrypted. By employing military-grade encryption technology, we make it virtually impossible for anybody to read your data - even if they were somehow able to physically intercept it. The data leaving your PC is completely protected at all times.

Our PC client software offers Blowfish with a variable length key of up to 448 bits.

Each time the client software is installed, a unique encryption key is specified. This key is automatically loaded into the backup program and used to backup or restore your data from the offsite storage vault.

At installation time, you MUST record the value of this encryption key and store it in a safe place. You alone are responsible for securing and keeping your key private. As this key is completely random, our personnel do not know your encryption key value. If for any reason you need to reinstall the backup client software to recover data, you will need this key.

Without the encryption key, nobody can access your information - not even the employees of FIT Backup. This provides you with assurance that your data cannot be read by unauthorized personnel.

Network Protection

The FIT Backup data vault is a purpose-built computer server. This server performs only one function - securing your data. Operating system software is mirrored on dual disk drives. Your encrypted data files are stored on a Raid-5 storage array equipped with a hot standby disk drive, which is automatically activated in the event of a hard disk failure. Critical system components - including the power supply - are all spared onsite.

Sophisticated network port blocking and packet filtering techniques are used to prevent unauthorized access to the server. All failed attempts to access the server are logged and reviewed by the system administrator.

End users do NOT have an operating system account on the server and can perform no tasks other than backup and restoration of encrypted data files.
