This backup solution designed to simplify the process of backing up and restoring information. It interface is tailored to help both novice and expert users to backup important files. Backup data is encrypted in transit and at rest, using HTTPS and AES-256, an encryption algorithm used by financial and military organizations across the globe. For additional convenience, backed up files can be restored on multiple devices both through the firm’s backup desktop application and through a browser.

Available for Windows and macOS, it is a feature-packed backup application designed to bring secure file backup to users around the world.

Cyclonis Backup was designed to combine ease-of-use with features. It includes a Backup Wizard, designed to help users immediately get started creating backups. It scans the user’s HDD and sorts files into categories (documents, pictures, videos, etc.), allowing users to backup the files that are most important to them. Users can backup and restore all of their data across their multiple supported devices with a single account.

Designed to protect data vs. ransomware, hardware failure and other risks
Ransomware is an increasingly dangerous threat. Many traditional backup solutions do not store multiple versions of users’ files. It can scramble files on a user’s computer, making valuable personal data inaccessible. Traditional backup solutions may overwrite existing backups with these scrambled files, making recovery potentially impossible. Ransomware attacks force users to pay a ransom to retrieve their data and even then the data may not be released. The company’s solution is configured, by default, to store multiple versions of users’ files to the cloud. In the case of a ransomware attack, it offers tools that enable users to selectively restore their data to an earlier ‘pre-scrambled’ state to avoid being a victim.

Encryption at heart
To help protect your valuable personal data, Cyclonis Backup leverages encryption technology, including AES-256, an encryption standard established by the US NIST and used by large organizations around the world. User backup data is encrypted both in transit and at rest in the cloud. To offer users enhanced privacy protection, backup data is stored in a way that even the firm’s staff cannot view or read it.
