What is Backup Direct™ online backup?

Backup Direct™ online backup is an automated solution that allows PCs and laptops to backup and recover data securely online, share files, collaborate with co-workers, store files online, and access data from a remote location. Our service automatically backs up computers via an internet connection to our secure data centres. Your data is secured with military-grade encryption (128-bit) for safe transmission to our off-site storage locations.

How does Backup Direct™ online backup work?

Backup Direct™ online backup performs a backup of all selected files, either full system, data only or network data. After the initial backup is complete, each subsequent backup session looks for all new files and the changed portions of previously backed-up files to append to the backup set. Your data is then compressed, encrypted, and transmitted over an IP (internet) connection to our secure data centres.
