Backups are Fast
Systems need to be running 24/7, not bogged down because a backup is running. Our backups use True Delta technology to transfer only the data that has changed.

Backups are Flexible
We provide daily backups of everything from a single file, to an application database, to an entire server, and support Apple, Windows and Linux servers with native plug-ins. We can also provide an onsite drive to duplicate offsite storage.

Backups are Secure
All backups use a minimum of AES 128-bit encryption to secure the data, ensuring no one can read the data during transmission or in storage.  Best of all, the backups are stored on Canadian storage servers and comply with the toughest Canadian privacy legislation.

Backups are Safe
All backups are stored off-site from the location hosting your web applications and data, guaranteeing we can easily recover every part of your environment, even in the face of a disaster.  Backups can be kept 30 days to 3 years.

Recovery is Fast
If something needs to be recovered, we know you need it running pronto. We can start to recover your data in minutes – not hours and prioritize your critical files.

You Pay Less
Our cloud backup service eliminates the cost of upgrading and replacing bulky offsite backup drives. Server backups are billed based on the amount of original data backed up –so as the historical backup grows, your cost does not increase. Plus, invoices are in Canadian dollars.
