Online Backup is similar to a traditional backup except that, instead of storing your files on tape or other devices, your data is sent over the Internet to secure backup servers. Your data is encrypted for security and privacy and compressed to save space and transmission time. Online Backup can be used with either dial-up or broadband internet connections.

Online backup provides a backup solution that is entirely automated and requires little effort on your part. Once your account is setup, you can start your backups. You perform one initial backup, and then subsequent backups are done automatically looking for new and changed portions of files ensuring a fast transfer.

Online backups can be very useful since they allow you to access your backups from any location with internet access. Online backup are also more safe and secure since they are physically separated from the original data.
