128-Bit AES Encryption
Your files are
securely transmitted, stored and retrieved using government-level AES
ecryption.
If someone were to somehow intercept your data
during a backup or restore, or gain access to our servers (which, of course,
has never happened), it still take multiple supercomputers decades to decipher
any of your data.
We DO NOT have access
to your personalized encryption key, only you do. Most backup companies keep their clients' keys on file, and thus
have access to all your confidential files.
Advantages of encrypted backups
- It would be far easier for someone to steal your local
backups (tape ,
CD-DVD,
Zip/Jaz) than to intercept
and decrypt your encrypted offsite data.
- Local backups containing your sensitive data are rarely
encrypted or even protected by a simple password.
- Disgruntled
employees, competitors, hackers, thieves, curious people who find lost
tapes, etc. all jeapardize the safety of unencrypted backups. Backup tapes are
pocket-size, so you might not even notice they are gone.

 NIST (National Institute of Standards and
Technology) determined that 128-bit AES is secure enough to protect U.S.
Government classified information up to the TOP SECRET level. |

How Secure is 128-Bit AES
Encryption?
If a super-computer could break the DES code in
one second, it would take the same supercomputer 149 trillion years to decode a
128-bit AES key - longer than the existence of our universe.
It is safe to say no supercomputer in the foreseeable future
will be able to brute-force AES 128 bit. As long as no one finds your
encryption phrase, your encrypted data can never be deciphered.
