Performance
- Fast and easy to install – Our backup system is very fast and installs easily (you can be fully backup protected in under 2 minutes!)
- Runs in background – Backups run in the background so you can continue to work while your files are being backed up
- Set CPU priority – Background CPU priority can be set to High, Medium or Low
- Exclude file types – You can specify the types of files (MP3, EXE, WAV etc.) or even the age of files you want to exclude from your backups (to make your backups smaller and faster)
- Compression – Data is compressed prior to transmission
- Capacity – Can handle very large data backups – up to 2 Gigabytes of data (compressed). If compression ratio is 4:1 that would be 8 Gigabytes of data!
Security
- Enhanced Password – Enhanced password control (prevents passwords from being sent across the Internet)
- AES encryption – Data is transmitted, and stored, with strong encryption (U.S. Military ‘AES’ standard). No one has access to your data!
