Data backup over the internet is trending. Thanks to faster internet connections, this is now possible even for larger backups. Backup ONE recognized this trend early and launched an attractive, feature-rich product. But what are the advantages of online backup and what should be considered?
The various online backup providers differ significantly from each other: data location, encryption technology, software used, transfer speed, and many other factors determine how good an online backup service actually is. Cheaper providers often store customer data far away in foreign countries, where storage prices are typically much lower than in Switzerland. While this may seem appealing at first glance, fundamental security aspects are often overlooked.
As a Swiss online backup provider, both we and all our suppliers are subject to Swiss data protection regulations. This guarantees that your (customer) data is stored securely and not shared with third parties.
With Backup ONE, your data is stored exclusively in Switzerland. This applies to both backup and metadata. By storing all data in state-of-the-art Swiss data centers, it is optimally protected against loss, theft, environmental damage, and other influences at all times.
Some online backup providers only store data for a certain limited period. While this may be sufficient in some cases, you should be able to determine how long you want to keep your data, as it's often needed in unpredictable situations.
Backup ONE uses highest performance infrastructure throughout. This is particularly evident in the upload and download of backup sets. While many providers severely limit transfer rates, Backup ONE ensures sufficient performance for every online backup customer. Our customers frequently upload and download data at 100MB/sec, which can be crucial in a restore situation to get systems running again as quickly as possible.
Backup ONE's software was developed from the ground up to provide high stability and performance. However, sometimes backup-related issues may occur. Here, Backup ONE offers free telephone support that immediately addresses your concerns. This type of support is offered by only a few foreign online backup providers.
When time is of the essence, it's good to know that you can access your data in various ways. Backup ONE is aware of this fact and offers different methods to access your data:
One thing is clear: A backup usually contains important data. As an online backup provider, we believe that only our customers should have access to their data. What sounds self-evident has repeatedly proven not to be so in the media. Therefore, we have ensured through technical measures that neither we, nor our suppliers, nor third parties can access your backup data, as the high encryption of your backup data even before upload ensures that only you can access it. The online backup data encrypted with AES 256 bit (also called Military Grade) can only be restored with the password you choose and keep. This goes so far that the data becomes unusable if a password is lost. So always keep your passwords in a safe place where they can be retrieved undamaged even after years.
Besides the above, there are certainly other important points to consider when choosing an online backup provider. Backup ONE was developed from the ground up for maximum security and user-friendliness, and the entire team would be happy to support you in your next backup project. If you have any questions about our products, please don't hesitate to contact us.
