Backup sets are securely encrypted

All of your files are first zipped and encrypted with your defined encrypting key before they are sent to Backup Harbor Remote Backup Server. To all people but you, your files stored on Ahsay backup server are no more than some garbage files with random content.

Best encryption algorithm is used

Backup Harbor Remote Backup uses industry standard encryption algorithms- Triple DES, Twofish by Counter Pane Labs, and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) by the National Instritute of Standards and Technology, our preferred algorithm. The AES algorithm is subjected to frequent public reviews; however, no known attack against this algorithm has been reported.

In non-technical terms, this means your data is encrypted and protected using the best industry-approved methods available.

We don't keep your encrypting key

The encryption key used to encrypt your files resides only on your computer and is known only to you. It is never transmitted anywhere across the network. If this key is lost, all backup files can never be recovered. Therefore, although we have access to all files you stored on our backup server, we have no knowledge of the content of the files you stored.

Reminder:

Please make sure you write down you encryption key in a safe place where it will never be forgotten. Otherwise, you will never be able to recover your backup files.

Restrict access to data by IP addresses

You can also restrict access to your backup files from the set of IP addresses you defined. If someone tries to access your data from an IP address not on your defined list, their access will be denied. This additional security ensures backup files are not open to all locations, even if username and password are known.

If you keep your encrypting key safe, you can be 100% sure that your data is not exposed to outsiders.

World-class Secure Data Center

All Backup Harbor servers are housed in Contegix's St. Louis, MO data center where security counts. Access the the building is limited by personal PIN codes. Access to the data center is restricted using a biometric and card scan entry system.
