.   What about our Backup Software? Is it any good?
.  
.   MyBackups uses the best backup software out there - Attix 5. They have been providing their services to corporates for over 7 years now. They backup some of the biggest companies out there: Pfizer, Internet Solutions, MWeb and many more. 
.  
.  
.  
.   We've taken their incredible software and combined it with our knowledge of the Net, bandwidth and web servers and created a package that gives you an incredible amount of storage space at an incredibly affordable price.
.  
.  
.  
.   To ensure the safety of your data:- 
.  
  • Your data is compressed  to about half the original size before sending it to the server.
  • Your data is encrypted using 448 bit Blowfish encryption before sending it over the network and then is transferred using 128 bit SSL encryption. Once on the server, it is encrypted and is only accessible using your encryption key.
  • Your data is stored on a primary storage platform in a secure data centre.
  • The primary platform is replicated to a mirrored platform in a different data centre.
  • After the your initial backup, MyBackups works out what has changed on your PC and only sends these changes. Therefore, after your first big backup is done, backups are as quick as sending a large email.
  • Servers store up to 30 versions of your data, going back one calendar month.
  • Restoring a file is done online and you can select to restore one file, or all your data.
  • MyBackups runs on most versions of Windows and Macintosh. Please contact us if you require a Linux client.

.   What about my Bandwidth costs? Won't it cost a lot to back up all my info?
.  
.  
.   There's no question - the cost of bandwidth in South Africa is relatively high at the moment. It is, however, becoming more affordable.
.  
.  
.   Good news!! - We have done 2 things to minimise these costs:-
.  
.   1) 
.   After your first backup all backups are incremental. This means that the MyBackups software checks on your computer which files have changed and what information in those files have specifically changed. And then only uploads those specific changes. For example: You have a Word doc that is very big (say 3 MB) and you add one word to it. At your next backup ONLY that one word will be uploaded NOT the whole 3 MB file 
.  
.  
.  
.  
.   A user with a 1GB MyBackups account will typically use about 5% of their 1GB ADSL cap per month, backing up all their data.
.  
.   2)
.   For your initial backup we offer a data collection courier service. We will drop off a Flash disk at the address of your choice. You use our software to create a backup onto the flash disk. We come and pick up the flash disk and put your info on our server. From then on you simply backup the new files and incremental changes over the Internet. The cost? R199.00 once off.

.   What happens if I overwrite an important file on my computer?
.  
.  
.   We keep copies of all your daily backups on the server. You can simply login and retrieve the backed up copy from yesterday, or from a week ago. Bottom line - your information is safe!
