Online backups are becoming a requirement for today's information era we are living in. The online backup industry popularity is growing by the day. Gone are the old backup solutions. Tape drives, disk backups, and so on. The online backup solution is far simpler.
For an affordable monthly amount, you have offsite storage of your data. The data is automatically backed up and you can feel safe that you have achieved what so many companies are failing to do; protecting the data that runs their companies.
So how does it all work? Well, initially, we at Iteology would require a full backup of your data. Normally we come and install the software on your desktop/server and create this backup to what we call a snapshot. The snapshot can take several hours or days depending on how large data your data files are. Once the snapshot has been taken and loaded on our servers, the rest becomes a lot easier.
Our backup software will then, based on the period you have chosen for online backups, search through your data for files that have changed. It will then only extract the changed portion of that file. Once complete, all the data is compressed and uploaded to our servers. The time it will take will be based on the connection speed you have to the Internet.
To explain a little further... If you have a 1GB file, and only 1MB of the file changed, our software will only copy that 1MB and upload it (compressed) to our server. This is possible because we will have the original file on our server from your snapshot. Restoring would just rebuild the file up to the changes made for the restore date selected. The revolutionary technology is what makes online backup possible.
