Why YachtBackup is better.
YachtBackup's online and offsite backup system has many practical advantages in relation to more conventional backup methods like CD/DVD, Zip drive, tape unit or external hard disk.
More Versions
While restoring files you can choose from many different versions - yesterday, last week, three months ago and so on. These older versions can be restored to any location on your hard disk or network. You can set a retention period of up to one year.
Easier
Backups are made fully automated on a daily basis. This means that you don't have to search for tapes or cd's, or worry about external drives.
Safer
You'll receive a daily e-mail notification with a report that allows you to check whether the backup has been successful. YouŽll know your files are recoverable, unlike tape drives that may not hold a readable backup.
More Privacy
All backups are encrypted and can only be read with your own password.
More Locations
We store your data at different locations. As a result, you never run the risk of losing any backups. You can transfer data back to your PC or to any other system of your choice anywhere in the world. Catastrophic events, though very rare, do happen. We can ensure vital information is immediately available to authorised parties whatever the circumstances.
Remote Disk Options
In the event that your system is catastrophically damaged (for instance, by fire or water) we can send a recovery disk containing all of your files to any location in the world. The data would be encrypted, ensuring security during transit, and would only be readable with your personal encryption key.
