It recognizes any data modification, regularly performing incremental backups for every change that is made. This allows users to then restore versions of their backed up data to a time prior to a ransomware infection, ensuring they will never be locked out from accessing their own data.

Features include:

• Cloud backup – backup unlimited computers directly to the cloud and access data with ease. Schedule automated backups at regular intervals and set email notifications.

• Fast backups and restores – conduct backups up to 3x faster with Changed Block Tracking technology. Allows for restores with no downtime.

• Security – securely transfer your data to the cloud with AES-256 end-to-end encryption. Track account activities through email and dashboard notifications.

• Periodic cleanup – automated periodic cleanup operations enable users to maintain a recovery point archive based on number of incremental backups or time duration.

• User management – with the Team Plan, invite users to create accounts within your account. Enable access without credential sharing, and manage billing centrally.

• Disk-partition based backup – create an image file of a single partition, multiple partitions, or the whole disk in order to prevent data loss or migrate data with ease.

• Customizable backup settings – use the default settings or modify preferences for backup, email notifications, etc. Mirror imaging will occur as per the pre-defined schedule and settings.

• Data integrity check – performed after every backup operation to ensure that only reliable copies of data are stored during backup for a successful restore.
