The Impact IT Backup software runs a daily fully automated offsite data backup of your important files and data. After installation of the software you select the files and directories that you wish to backup. Then after encryption and compression a full offsite back-up will be made from the selected files. These files are sent to the Impact's offsite servers for safe storage through a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection. From that moment on, a daily incremental backup of all new and changed files will run at a time of the day determined by you.
Your files will be stored in two different remote locations to ensure that there's always a copy available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. You can access and use your remote backup data at any time and from anywhere through a standard internet browser. You will receive daily email reports regarding your data backup status, file sizes as well as an overview of all activities.
