Skadoit Online Backup Solution

Installation and Set Up of Data Backup Software

After you enroll with Skadoit!, you will download and install the data backup software onto your computer. After installation of the Skadoit! software, you will choose a unique encryption key for security that will be used to encrypt all of your files. You will then set up the list of files that you want to backup and the times that you want to do backups. Setting up backup sets is easy and takes only minutes to complete.

Online Data Backups Start Automatically

From then on, as long as your computer is online and functioning, data backups will start automatically according to the schedule that you have set. While backups are typically scheduled during the night when there are few people using your computers, backups have little or no impact on your computer's performance and your ability to access the Internet. With Skadoit!, you also have the option of manually starting an online data backup at any time.

Your computer is searched for data files

When a backup starts, your hard drive is scanned for only files that have changed since your last online data backup. Only these files need to be transmitted, minimizing the time it takes the online backup service to run.

Files Are Encrypted for Data Security

After being compressed, each data file is individually encrypted using your unique 128 bit encryption key for data security. Because your encryption key is stored only on your computer and is never transmitted over the Internet, no one but you will ever have access to your files.

Data Sent Securely Over the Internet

For added data security, each encrypted file is then sent over the Internet via a secure channel using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, the same Internet transmission technology that is used for online banking.

Remotely Stored in Multiple Data Centers

For data protection, all of your files are sent to two secure data centers. Each data center has 24/7 monitoring, advanced security technology such as biometric access controls, backup generators and redundant connections to the Internet.

Recovering your data files is easy

Recovery can be done in just a few clicks of your mouse. Using the Skadoit! data backup software, you simply click on the individual files or folders that you want to retrieve and they will be restored to your hard drive. If the need arises after a system failure, you can perform a full file recovery and retrieve all of your backed up data.
